Treating Corn Fodder with Anhydrous Ammonia or Liquid Supplement for Winter Feeding of Livestock

A demonstration ammoniating corn fodder for the purposes of extending/increasing winter feed supplies for cattle.  This process will be compared to the use of liquid supplement (molasses) to enhance corn fodder.  The participating farmer or farmers would pay the normal production expenses associated with ammoniating fodder (baling corn stalks, transporting, plastic, anhydrous ammonia etc.).  These funds would be used to offset some of the abnormal expenses associated with this demonstration.
