Southern standout silage

P8500 Pioneer Maize Silage Hybrid is a proven silage specialist, trusted by farmers across southern Victoria for its outstanding yield performance and feed quality. With early-mid maturity (CRM 85), it’s a perfect fit for regions like Timboon, Leongatha, and Warragul where consistent silage production is critical fitting into the short season growing and intensive dairy systems. Its ability to establish quickly, maintain strong standability, and push out high-energy silage makes it our go-to hybrid in cool, high-rainfall environments.

Farmers consistently see P8500 deliver dense, uniform crops with high starch content and excellent digestibility—essential traits for driving animal performance. Its flexibility in rotations and ability to finish reliably under a range of seasonal conditions ensures it remains one of the most widely planted silage hybrids across the Gippsland and south-west dairy zones.
