Sorry I don't have any pics, but there are a couple of fields around me that I can't figure out exactly what they have growing. Typically the two fields are rotated between corn, soybeans, and cotton. This summer they had corn planted and it has already been cut. It was nice, tall, what I consider the usual corn crop. What's growing now has long, broad, green leaves, and tassels on the top, and looks like corn to me. Thing is it's only something like 2 feet tall, with a few here and there tasseled out at maybe 3 feet tops. I've heard there is a variety of dwarf corn, but have never see it. Could this possibly be a dwarf corn, or is is something new? I know without pics it's near impossible to say with 100 percent surity, but any educated ideas would be greatly appreciated as I am completely stumped. Thanks Wayne

Wayne, Google grain-milo, and the Google grain-millet. Each will show photos of the grain. Should be able to nail it down from there.

Yikes - hopefully it isn"t shattercane. May have come from contaminated seed if they or a neighbor has grown milo. Needs to mow down it before the heads ripen or the birds scatter it.

I agree, sounds like volonteer corn that they did not spray for. Here in corn bean rotation of round up ready corn and beans Fusilade is used to keep the volonteer corn out of the beans.

It sounds like volunteer corn to me too. It happens around here sometimes. Last year there was a lot, we got a late rain after harvest and much of it was cut for hay.
