Was wondering if anyone knows how many lbs per acre of seed corn would be best. I tried around 20 lbs per acre last year and had poor results, but there are many other factors why it didn't grow good last year.
There is no doubt I screwed up the success last year:Typical bag of corn has 80,000 seeds at around 50 lbs which does 2.5-3 acres. 20 lbs is fine for food plots. Last year was great for planting corn unless you have low ground. What went wrong?
I'm pretty sure the seed was the #1 factor.Was the seed any good?
Do you do germination tests?
Germination testing is super easy. I do it on all carry over seed just to be damn sure its good.
Germ may be great but you need enough growing days for the seed planted or you won't have much luck.
