I don't care how much, when do you plant?

Richard, we shoot for the second half of May.


Frost is fair game in September.

Richard and Sam - you have my wholehearted support for the courage to grow corn (and admit it at the 'fire) when the general tendency at the 'fire is to blame corn for all of mankind's ills, from the rise of the Democratic Party to the heartbreak of psoriasis. Keep up the good work. Best, John

Well John,
1, most of the jokers on the freak show would not slum down here.

2,Corn makes prime beef.

3, Even what the Canucks call, "Rye", has a fair amount of maize in it.

4, I do not like it in small engines, but my wife's car runs well on E85, at 3/4 the price of regular gas.

5, Wildlife likes the grain well enough.

I could go on, and on-----.

Big time growers.......grin

All good points!

That's not fair Sam, makin' it rain like that!

Roasting ears are pretty good too. They plant field corn here the last of March, or the first of April, on average. Sweet corn a couple of weeks later. miles

We plant ours around the 20th of May. Usually chop in September, and pick around November.

Whenever be sure to plant every square inch you can, biggest surplus in history, 2.3 BILLION bushels yes billion with a B should be worth a real premium this fall !!!!

Silage corn.

Only corn I grow is in the garden plant around june 1st

We usually try to plant sweet corn the first couple of weeks of March. I plant "incredible" the last few times, but used to plant "Sweet G-90". It is a toss up on taste but the incredible will have more ears and better filled out. It usually is ready from the middle to end of June. Sweet G-90 was always near the 4th of July. My wife and I don't eat much corn anymore and my MIL died a couple of years ago, so I will not plant any. Neighbor will give me a few ears to eat when it gets ready. I liked growing corn but no need if we are not eating it. miles

I always plant a few hills of hickory king to see how tall it gets its tough as hell but edible

I plant some in my garden too.

Same here, Miles. I have planted the last week of Feb, but usually wait until the first week or two of March. Whenever it's dry enough to plant...
