When loading the planter last week I had a couple partial bags of seed left over from last year and I put them in first. Then started planting the field by the road, when I got done planting and cleaned out the planter I went to put the leftover seed in the shed and noticed another bag of corn in the corner. I think this is the bag left from last year and what I planted was from 2 years ago, the problem is last year I switched to round-up ready corn. so now I think I planted the first couple rounds with conventional seed, When I have it sprayed is the round-up going to kill the outside few rows? or will it just burn it some?

If it's not Roundup ready, it'll smoke it dead. Might go out with a gallon of roundup for spraying around the house and hit it before you spray the whole field. Then you'd know for sure.

Yes, it will kill it! I never made that mistake, but I know alot of guys that did years ago. Don't feel to bad, you are not alone. Education costs money.
On the bright side that is the end of the old seed so this should not happen again. I just planted Friday so I think tonight I will load the planter back up and replant a couple rounds around the field. Why do these mistakes always happen right next the road so everyone can see them? LOL Farm mistakes are always expensive too. But I am learning a lot.
Just spray with a pre emergent...then forget about it. If you do you should not have to spray again the rest of the year. Many around here have started planting $88 non gmo a bag corn and spraying a pre emergent and that is their only weed control. Their fields look just as good as everyone else's. Just MHO.

And make sure you clean out the booms! Ha!
Last year I planted half Liberty half RR beans(that was a one year only mistake, btw). I switched fields between the two so I ran the sprayer for a good while on the drive. Went to the field and promptly killed 200 foot of beans but only the ones on the outside edges of the 60 foot booms. It was quite fetching. You guessed it - right on the highway. It stayed nice and clean, though.

My distant neighbor goofed the same way a couple years ago. He alternated LL and RUP corn, and forgot and added an openedbag from last year.....
Could see that dead row through about 5 acres all summer............ He said he thought maybe it would have mixed a little in the hopper and only shown up as lightly planted, but nope, it stayed pretty true the whole way.
Better than a neighbor last year tho. Put bean herbicides on his corn, just misread the label or wasn't thinking as he grabbed a jug and mixed. I guess he was lucky, he didnt have an anti-bean pre down, so he could come back late and plant some June beans anyhow. Was a lot of acres, felt bad for him. At lest his field was pretty clean, getting all those different nodes of action in the same year. There were a few stems of corn in one area that survived the bean spray real well, I wonder what that was all about. I. Not sure exaclty what bean spray he used, but it is not something any corn is supposed to survive? Hum, wonder what traits the seed/chem companies are working on.....

Truth be told, we've all done something like that. And along the road---yes. Years ago the plow came unhooked turning around the end and the plow tipped whole upside down. Right along U.S. hy-way 14, during 5:00 rush hour, 2 miles out of town.

Three years ago I sprayed my corn with a mix of roundup and 24d. I had 30gal left over and a few days later I filled the 300gal sprayer the rest of the way with roundup and sprayed the RR beans with out remembering the 24d. Those beans looked really sick for about 10 days, I thought I killed them. Then it rained. Ended up I had the best weed kill ever and the beans turned out fine.
