In late July or early August, mow another one-third of the field. Again, rake and bale or burn. About two weeks before hunting is to start in the field, mow the remaining standing plants. Again, rake and bale or burn. Corn is usually recommended.
Corn There are many varieties of corn from which to choose.
If possible, select a hybrid that is not susceptible to viruses which can seriously reduce yields. Yields of 100 bushels or 5,600 pounds of seed per acre may be obtained. Depending on variety, the seed mature 80 to 130 days after the plants emerge. Generally, the late maturing hybrids are recommended. Plant on dates that allow the seed to mature before frost.
