    grazing corn

    In driving past my grazing corn today and noticing it's nice and dead. I was wondering has anyone harvested it with their combine and saved the seed?

    I never paid a separate TUA I was told it'priced into the Bag. And I don't intend to sell to anybody ever just grow my own seed. I realize I would loose hybrid vigor but I'm not even sure if I grew a hybrid all I know is that it's a roundup variety

    Has anybody any experience, personal or second hand
    thanks

    If you grew a RR variety you grew a hybrid. Probably not technically legal to save it but you'd lose so much on the hybrid vigour lost I can't imagine anyone would ever prosecute someone for trying to pull a fast one by saving corn seed, unlike canola or soybeans. The big M would probably get a good laugh out of it.

      I was thinking about that, but it's not like I'm pouring the inputs to it under intense management. As far as yield we have about two cobs/plant most of it grew about 8 ft high. on newly broken ground that's been in pasture for about 10 years then the foxtail took over.
      Although I have never tried to really push the yields on the forage varieties and don't know the capabilities.
