Another thing is the stage of corn growth it is in. Using Roundup WeatherMax, Roundup Ready 2 Corn allows you to spray to an increased crop height of about 48" and weeds of about 20" tall. It gives you a better opportunity if you miss sprayings due to weather, etc. You have to use drop nozzles from 30-48" corn. Regular RR Corn just doesn't give you the same opportunity for spraying to a more mature crop.

There are a lot of options, especially when you couple RR with the Insect Resistance of Yield Guard Corn Borer and Corn Rootworm. Just make sure you check the seed bag for specific requirements and make sure people know that it is RR corn when you sell it. Sometimes it matters wherever you are as to who the elevator sells its grain to, due to the whole world and the EU being scared of GM crops. A bunch of crap.

This website should help, its a pdf file. Learn about refuge acres as well. We need to use them. My 2 cents worth.
