Got started on the corn planting today. Got about 12 ac planted and will plant another 10 tomorrow. Took awhile messing with gears and plates to get the spacing right. Seed seems to get smaller every year. Cheapest RR seed I could find was $280 a bag.Ouch that hurt.
 
Been selling deer corn for over 20 years now. Don't know how much longer I can keep doing it looking at the high input cost.
Deer corn sells for between $6.50 and $8.00 a bushel. Has been as high as $10.00 That's for cob corn. Tried OP corn the last two years trying to get away from the high price hybrid, but it would just not yield. So this year I went back to Dekalb. Didn't know the price had jumped up that much. Well at least fuel and N has come down over last year.
 
I'm thinking I paid less than that lass year for seed corn. Don't recall offhand what I planted but it made a nice stand of corn given it rained all summer, temps were not what corn ought to have, had to plant late, had to harvest REAL late and couldn't get a good dry down...

If I hadn't been feeding my own corn I would have lost my shirt.
 
I bought Masters Choice again this year. Triple stacked listed at $260 before any discounts. Ended up under $250.
 
Which variety of masters choice to you plant for picking? I have a guy near me that is a super nice fellow that sells master choice and I wouldn't mind dealing with him. Currently plant Doeblers, and for the money it does ok.
 
Excellent,both for picking and the variety I planted for silage. One of the advantages of buying from a dealer who's still a farmer and knows what works vs buying from an "agronomist" who'll tell you what the company tells him will work.
 
I plant conventional corn [not RU ] With early pay discount...$ 117 / bag. Weed spray cost a little more...generally between $35-$40/acre. 85 day corn last year yielded 140 bu./acre...my best yield ever in Nort. Cent Wi.
