Land used for forage production
lost for season
Cost of handling, mixing and delivery to the feed aisle lostTime spent thoughout
the entire process lost
Planting inputs and fuel costs lost
Forage harvesting and storage cost lost
To know the true cost, consider the bigger picture.
-5%
-5%-5%
-5%-5%
For example, here is how mucha 5% feed loss can cost you.
