Grazing Popcorn (Non-GMO)
This Non-GMO Grazing Popcorn is an excellent product for summer and fall grazing mixes as well as stockpile grazing mixes. Because corn tolerates cooler nights better than sorghum products, this is a great option for late summer planted grazing mixes. This seed is quite a bit smaller than the BMR corns so it stays in mixes and goes through a drill better than the larger BMR corn. While it doesn't contain the BMR trait which contributes to palatability, it is a better grazing corn compared to regular field corn and it will stand through the winter better than the BMR varieties. We don't recommend using a corn product in your cover crop mix if it is part of your cash crop rotation.
