Just wondering what time of the year is best to plant corn and leave it standing for deer. My other question is do you have to use a corn planter for it go come up and be successful? I only have a disc for my tractor and my plan was to broadcast the corn out and them just come over it with the disc just enough to cover it up and then once the corn got up a little come back and broadcast IC peas and let the peas grow and climb up the corn stalks.

In the fall? Most corn is around 100 day maturity so just a little math will tell you when to plant.

The earlier you plant corn, after frost, the higher productivity you'll get. But it'll also be standing longer for the coons and deer to get. I wouldn't plant later than May because it'll get really dry later in summer.

No, you certainly don't need a row planter for corn. I've broadcasted with great success. You do need weed control, though.

Row planting is far better than broadcasting. With row planting you can control weeds and add fertilize without promoting unwanted weed competition.
Broadcasting will work, yes. But you'll grow more weeds than corn.

Evil roundup works really well on broadcasted RR corn. I've had phenomenal crops, without hardly a weed.

All you can do is try. Sounds like you have a plan and hopefully it'll work. I need a grain drill.


It be's that way sometimes.

Listen to Rem270 he is right.It grows great broadcast, just ain't as pretty, and RoundUp solves the weeds.That said if I had a row planter in the barn I would use it.Just can't justify dropping $2,000 on something I would use 1 day a year.

If you gonna broadcast err on the side of being lighter with rate than heavy.

Describe to everyone how you are covering the seed so they will know the complete process. Also tell us if you fertilize and how you spray.... i.e. do you just run over it when you spray, etc.

A few key pieces of info folks without a planter might want to know.


No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

Just dig a little hole, put the seed in, cover it with dirt and add water, nothing to it. Just ask Bloomberg.

This is how I’ve done it in the past.
Work up a good seed bed.
Spread preplant fertilizer (4-500lbs/acre)
Spray preemerge herbicide(if not planting RR corn seed)
Work fertilizer and herbicide in lightly.
Spread seed
Cover seed with disc w/ most angle out of disc.
When plant gets about knee high spray with gly if RR with tank on ATV unless large acreage is planted then use tractor and spray rig.
Spread a high nitrogen fertilizer.
If not RR corn you may need a post emergent herbicide if grass and weeds appear at some point before top dressing.
You will lay some plants down so try to get the sprayer and fertilizer spreader to cover close to the same area so you can use the same tracks.
This is what has worked for me down here in the past. Some things may differ in other areas.
257 had some beautiful broadcasted corn a few years ago. If I remember correctly he had some pics posted on here. A search my find them.

You plant when you know youll get the rain to make the corn. When the ground is warm enough of course. Dont plant the corn and peas together, all it will do is reduce the productivity of both. Get your ground ready and spread about 200lb fertilizer per acre. Mix your corn seed with fertilizer and spread the seed like that unless youre planting enough seed to have a hopper full. Ptu out more seed than it calls for because all of it wont come up. Take all the angle out of your disk or leave it on the first setting to cover your corn up. When it gets 8-10 inches high spray with gly. When it gets knee high broadcast 200lb/acre 34-0-0. Thats it. Ive done this the past three years and it works great.

This is my corn last year about a week after the 34-0-0. It did pretty good on yeild. I had close to 3acres and it was gone by the first week in december. If you have alot of deer, you better plant alot of corn. If this is your first year leaving standing corn, they might not eat it uo that quick. After a couple years they will demolish it.

That’s some good looking corn. I wish we had a few fields big enough to plant corn at the camp. Our biggest fields are an acre each.

From what I have seen in the garden forum, I would bet You could grow a few rows on a sidewalk!

You might try planting the corn then sow oats or wheat in it in october right before a rain and let it come up in the corn. By the time the deer knocks all the corn down, the oats will be up and doing good. Sounds like it would work

I planted 8 acres of corn last year, left it standing and came back in Oct. and just broadcast over the top with my winter mix of oats, wheat, radish, turnip, and clover. It turned out fantastic. I will say you need to be paying attention when hunting over it, the deer blend in big time in the corn. Once it started growing they never could keep up with it.

Wasnt sure about if it would work or not but this is a great idea for someone with limited space.

Pretty simple for me. I spray a month before planting, till it up, spread fertilizer(300 lbs/ac 13-13-13) and seed and drag with a chain harrow.I am not specifically growing corn though. I mix about 8lbs/ac corn with round-up ready beans because I am more interested in summer nutrition.The corn is for vertical cover and feed.The corn makes mostly one good ear some two and planting 6 acres will last into season some.

What the corn actually did was protect the cereal grains and let them get up, I was shocked at how high they got before it started getting cold. Its almost like the corn acted as a exclusion cage. As the season went on and the corn fell over I was left with a lush field. I was really able to bank some tonnage for the winter. I am defiantly doing it again.
