Maximising methane output is the primary objective when running an anaerobic digester and, for the Channing family, that means growing the most consistent and high-quality maize feedstock across 1,000 variable acres. Good advice, on-farm analysis and growing the best varieties all play a part in success.

For North Wales mixed farmers Neal Morris and his son George, maize is an important forage for their milk production and beef finishing enterprises. It is also an integral part of their wider farming system, playing a key role as a break crop in their arable rotation. The important point for Neal and George is that all enterprises are complementary to one another, with nothing done to the detriment of anything else.

For Devon dairy farmer Jono Mock, growing early maturing maize varieties is as much about feed quality as it is about harvest date, establishing following crops, soil health or environmental benefits. All are important, but most notable in terms of the direct impact on the performance of his high-yielding Holstein Friesian herd, is the fact that he knows he is maximising the digestibility of starch from the day he opens his maize silage clamp.

For north Somerset milk producer Jon Bult, growing a very early maturing variety of maize allows him to maximise his use of overwinter cover crops which deliver soil health benefits and an SFI payment. Maize forms the basis of the ration for the 700-cow herd at Collum Farm as it consistently provides a high energy forage which contributes to yields of over 12,000 litres per lactation for the herd’s Holstein Friesians, and over 7,000 litres for the herd’s pure Jerseys.

Two new maize varieties from Limagrain’s robust and extensive UK screening and testing programme have been added to the 2024-25 BSPB/NIAB Descriptive List; Duke (FAO 150) and Promise (FAO 180) offer significant advancements in yield and quality to farmers in both favourable and less favourable growing areas and have potential beyond forage for alternative uses including crimping and grain.

Under-sowing maize with a hybrid ryegrass and red clover ley has delivered multiple benefits for Cornish dairy farmer Chris Sampson. With five years of the practice under his belt, and now owning his own inter-row drill, Chris is seeing consistent results, and can list extra forage, increased soil carbon and reduced cultivations amongst the key advantages.

Maintaining target growth rates in a beef finishing enterprise requires a year-round ration that is well-balanced, high in energy and easily digestible. For Yorkshire farmer Edward Liversidge, based at Primrose Hill Farm, High Catton, the key is to feed a total mixed ration based on high quality maize, with the crop being grown as a fully integrated part of the farm’s arable rotation.
