Corn Question????

[Jstpssng]

Couple years back after planting sunflowers I had a kitty litter bucket win my planter when I switched to corn. Expensive , about $400 per bag, and thought it would be safe - after all, it’s treated and labeled just like your corn.

But your original question, yes, warning is for the seed, not the end product. But it is wise to read up because some crops are toxic to animals. Horse farmers to whom I sell some of my hay can be very finicky.

Maybe you should move over to New Ag Talk if TBN isn't exclusive enough for you. Here's a link:

Thank You again, it says 112 day corn. I am looking more for the fodder/maze end but just wanted to know that I had options for the actual corn ears left over after they dry on the stalk and don't get eat by wildlife etc.

You are well beyond the point of achieving that level of maturity in corn planted now.
