Michigan Corn Stover Project: Cattle, Storage and Bioenergy
Corn stover is the non-grain aboveground portion of the corn plant, including the husk, cob, stalk, tassel, silk and leaves. After corn grain harvest, stover is the remainder of the crop often referred to as "residue." This stover has value, whether it is returned to the soil to build organic matter and supply nutrients for the next crop or harvested for other uses. Corn stover can be viewed as potential revenue for producers, who have several marketing options for it.
