Subject: Corn for grazing


Big Sky Country
I’ve been offered an assortment of test plot corn seed.

It’s a yr old.

Several varieties, 20,000 seeds per bag—I think. Some for grain, some silage.

I’d seed it either on pivot irrigated or flood irrigated ground. Lotta clay, gumbo type .

I am not in corn growing area, extremely ignorant about corn.

Last year, I did seed a little grazing corn.

Used an old disc drill, taped off every other opening.

Did ok and made the neighbors curious.

How much water does corn want?

Could broadcast some fert—-what and how much?

How deep to plant it? What spacing? Ground still a tad wet to work, could I just drill it in or better to farm it up? Soil probably just getting warm enuf.

The thought is to plant it where I got ditch running by, use electric fence to portion it off—-late summer.
Any and all input most appreciated!
