Any Year Old Seed Corn Available?

[Da U.P. 'eh]

Do any feed mills or coops sell their year old seed corn at a discount? Looking for some in SE Wisconsin, or Eastern Wisconsin, as I travel through all of E. WI on my way to camp. RR corn.

Ask around your seed dealers. They’ve all got partial bags left over that are extremely toxic and should not be dumped. They gladly gave them away when I visited with them. Otherwise they risk getting an Alt-N fiasco in their own well water.

Also I bet it’s worth checking in with a few farmers around you. Mine always have some leftover and usually a case of Busch light will get me all I need along with a few pointers for planting.

SD, as far as coatings go I only did inoculate on my beans this year. Is the concern in the insecticide and fungicide? Or all coatings?

It’s the neonic seed coat. If you haven’t heard the Mead Nebraska story, it’s worth knowing.

IMO they are the worst farm chemical in history. The aquatic invertebrate population is near non existent.

There are also fish kills every year around here about the time the helicopters start flying around doing fungicide applications.
