I've got a 2.5 - 3 acre field that I want to try and plant before this coming rain. It won't be able to get it disced enough to run my planter through it, so I'm going to broad cast seed and lightly disc. How many pounds per acre is the suggested rate? I'm not mixing with anything else, just straight corn. This is a very fertile river bottom field. Thanks
To God Be The Glory!

Waste of time and money. If you can't spray it and cultivate it the weeds will choke it out.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

Yea 1 bag on 3 acres woulda been plenty. It’ll just be shorter with smaller ears. That’s all

Well I couldn’t get the field ready tonight, but it will hopefully get planted next week once it dries out from this coming rain. This field will make two and three ears without any fertilizer, typically. It gets flooded 2-3 times a year, and is some of the prettiest soil on the farm. Round up has about done away with all cultivation except when I side dress corn in rows in other fields

I shoot for around 35 lbs per acre broadcast. You will think you are not putting enough out but trust it. Too much will yield stunted stalks with no ears. I just broadcast, drag or pack, and I put my N out the same time I plant. Spray when it is knee high and forget about it.
Jwalker - that looks like row corn from the pic. Just sayin...
Don't give up, don't ever give up!

River bottom land is going to flood. Waste of money. Cob corn pile is your friend.
May make for some epic duck hunting.

Finally got that field planted today due to the recent rain. Also side dressed 3 other fields today with nitrogen. Will spray next week and be done with those first fields. Time to plant some chufa and milo fields. The older I get, th more I enjoy planting and working for wildlife.

Looking good walker. I don’t know how to post pictures and people would say I’m lying if I showed the two field I planted without any fertilizer. They may look better than the field with fertilizer at planting and side dressing.
