Silage Corn vs. Sweet Corn: How We Grow Corn in Hiko, Nevada
How we grow silage corn to feed our cattle, and sweet corn on the same pivot, at Cannon Ranch in Hiko, Nevada.
We walk the field and cover choosing seed for tonnage and our soils, and why we plant around June 15 to get pollination past the valley's 105-degree summer heat. We also explain how 65-day sweet corn and 103-day silage corn can be planted the same day without cross-pollinating.
