We hunt a private 210 acre farm in Renn County (NASSAU) we have an established 1acre clover food plot already which the deer love in the fall, there are several brush hog cuts on the property with hard wood ridges,thickets and ,inbetween several smaller fields which are cut twice in summer and fall, we ( the landowner and my hunting buddy) want to plant an 5 -10 acre plot of standing cornor possibly 100 to 150 yard cuts of corn.  my question is where can we get field corn in bulk  and how much is it? question #2 can you plant that whole corn from tractor supply that you feed to squirills? The owner has tractor and disc and field plow, brush hog already. Just lookin for some advice.

thanks for the advice,  ya we are not growing the corn to sell, we are just gonna grow and let stand.

5-10 acres in 30 yard by 200 yard long strips just out from the tree line, possibly make a couple L shaped strips also.

we are near Albany, the Capital of NY east of it,  in the Rennseler County. We are just looking for cow or field corn as its called. Ive heard we can plant the tractor supply corn. That comes in 50lb bags for like 8 bucks.  Do you think it would be ok to just broadcast it or does it have to be in rows? after the area is plowd and disc'd of course.

Thanks Big Red, We'll prob just to the tractor supply corn.  Ive heard from diff people that if your planting corn just for a food plot and not looking to sell it that will be fine, i'll heed your advice on the gro-coat too.  Ill post pics in the spring and summer and fall. Why would hunters spend big money on corn if you can just plant the tractor supply corn for $8 50lbs? Field (cow corn) will be just fine for us.
