Maize
Maize
Irish farmers grew over 22,500 hectares of maize in 2010, the vast majority of which was for use as feed for livestock. It is harvested and ensiled in a silage pit where the crop, including the cob, ferments. The highly nutritious silage is mainly used by dairy farmers who milk cows through the winter, as it is an excellent feed for lactating cows. A high proportion of the Irish crop is sown under plastic, in order to ensure that it gets sufficient heat in the Spring time.
