Is wheat silage illegal?

The illegality of wheat green storage depends on local policies. For example, one acre of green storage wheat, which has recently caused a heated discussion on the Internet, can be sold for 1,500 yuan, which is definitely illegal. The high price of wheat silage is mainly due to the tight supply of domestic corn and rising prices. The price inversion of corn and wheat has led to a large amount of wheat entering the feed field, and some feed companies have changed their formulas to use wheat. However, this phenomenon also existed in previous years before wheat came on the market. Farmers would harvest some wheat with poor growth quality in advance.

1. In 2022, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued a notice resolutely prohibiting the destruction of wheat.

The notice requires that the main wheat-producing areas should organize cities (counties) to comprehensively investigate whether there are silage wheat, damaged wheat, damaged wheat, tree planting and other types of wheat damage, and schedule whether there are silage purchases for feed in the province. Wheat farming enterprises and silage harvesting machinery for harvesting wheat silage. Preparing wheat silage must be strictly prohibited.

2.2022 Henan prohibits any emergency notification of wheat destruction.

On May 8, the Henan Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued an "Emergency Notice on Strictly Prohibiting the Destruction of Any Wheat" to prevent similar problems with wheat silage used as feed. Starting from May 8, no unit or individual is allowed to destroy wheat or use wheat for silage for any reason.
