Guys I was asked today if there was a place to buy RR seed corn at quantities less then the traditional bag size. Any ideas I think this guy was looking for 1/2 to 1 acre amounts.

I'm not sure why but when I got my seed from PF this year it came in a smaller 30# bag. Last year it was either a 40 or 50... I never thought that they made them that small but I guess they do. BTW- it was Dekalb.

Why are you buying RR corn? Joining Pheasants Forever for $30 a year allows you to get seed from them, in some cases free. A PF membership for someone interested in wildlife habitat is a great investment. Either way you are a part of the best conservation organization and you get the benefit of seed. Their corn seed is discard, but not with any noticeable deficiencies.

We buy ours from the local farmer.. Now is the time to hit them up.. most of their planting is done.. I actually spoke with the farmer we get ours from and he has it setting aside for us again this year! Beans too!

I am really surprised you had any germ problems. I plant PF corn and have never had any problem. In fact I planted some production corn right next to a PF food plot years ago and took photos for our PF display. No one could tell the difference between the two. All of the PF corn I have seen in the last ten years has been great.
