I kept looking at the fields because they looked like they had very young corn. Plants were maybe 6 inches tall. I"ve never farmed corn and I"ve never seen it planted late like winter wheat. What gives? Will this corn make it through the winter? [Reply]   [No Email]

Cold weather sorghum- Kaffir corn or kaolin or Korean/Manchurion grain sorghum is other names- or sudan grass hybreds can look like young corn. Grown for silage or green chop cattle feed. Midwest farmers sometimes plant it after flooding in spring to have cattle feed. RN   [Reply]   [No Email]

There were several fields along the trip that had it. It looked like it had been planted which made me wonder and why I asked. Sure didn't see it surviving the winter. Guess it'll get plowed under in the spring.   [Reply]   [No Email]

It"s an improperly set combine. Then I hear the farmer grumble about the poor yield. I see in my fields at the corners where I knock down corn, not in the main part of the fields.   [Reply]   [Send Email]
