Discount Corn

Ask a Farmer

Agers Ask a Farmer
Jamie Ager
Hickory Nut Gap Farm 
Q: Will corn that is sold at discount stores to feed deer grow in a food plot? If so, do you have to soak the corn in water overnight to get it to sprout?

A: Corn from discount stores probably would not make a very good seed to plant. A local farm store would be a better place to purchase seed to grow corn with. Also, remember that sweet corn is different from field corn.

Best wishes,
Jamie
