O/T question about corn

Last w/e we drove to Sherman, Tx (just south of Tx/Ok border) to pick up the MT. I kept looking at the fields because they looked like they had very young corn. Plants were maybe 6 inches tall.

I"ve never farmed corn and I"ve never seen it planted late like winter wheat. What gives? Will this corn make it through the winter?
 
Without seeing it, I'd guess it's volunteer corn that has come up from corn that was shook out the back of the combine 'cause the operator didn't know how to set the thing; won't survive the Winter.
 
If it was volunteer, it was all over the field. There were several fields along the trip that had it.

It looked like it had been planted which made me wonder and why I asked. Sure didn't see it surviving the winter. Guess it'll get plowed under in the spring.
 
Are you sure it was corn? Cold weather sorghum- Kaffir corn or kaolin or Korean/Manchurion grain sorghum is other names- or sudan grass hybreds can look like young corn. Grown for silage or green chop cattle feed. Midwest farmers sometimes plant it after flooding in spring to have cattle feed. RN
 
We have that as lot here. It"s an improperly set combine. Then I hear the farmer grumble about the poor yield.
I see in my fields at the corners where I knock down corn, not in the main part of the fields.
 
That was not corn as they plant corn probably in March. Around Temple and Waco THEY PLANT IN lATE feb and early March.
 
nancy here south of tyler i bait hog traps ,and use corn and its growing. have to move traps to keep corn stalks from growing in them. might be left overs from corn crops.
 
In south texas[and not S.A.]the rio grande valley,that is the only time it will grow.---lha
