Drought: How to Decide on Early Harvesting of Forage Corn Based on Field Conditions

In the face of water stress affecting Western France, the temptation to harvest forage corn early is gaining traction. However, experts remind us that the decision should be based on a precise agronomic diagnosis, as crops still retain, in many cases, a recovery potential if weather conditions improve. Farmers are advised to wait until the end of flowering to assess grain viability, while remaining vigilant for cases requiring early harvest to preserve forage quality.
