MAIZE BUSINESS PLAN ANALYSIS







Corn
General Information
Corn (Zea mays) has been grown in the
northeast for generations, and is a demanding
crop but one that is highly-valued for its use
as animal feed, silage, and as a grain for
human consumption. Corn’s energy
production per acre is higher than any other
crop, and it is a durable grain that is relatively
easy to process.
There are a few different types of corn. Flint
(or Indian), silage, flour, sweet, pop, and
ornamental varieties exist, but flint and flour
corn are the types most commonly grown for
human consumption in the northeast.
Popcorn is relatively simple to grow,
germinating and growing more quickly than
other varieties, but is difficult to properly
process.
Preparation & Planting
Corn requires a high level of nitrogen in order to do well, and will grow well in well-drained
loam with a pH of between 5.6 and 7.5. To prepare the seed-bed, chisel-plow a sod field in the
fall and apply manure if needed, then till the seedbed 2-3 times before planting in late spring.
Pulverizing the spring soil as soon as it dries out will build up a mulch layer and prevent the soil
from becoming too hard to plant into. Corn can be planted after a cereal or legume crop if
nitrogen levels are high enough, but should be cultivated with enough time before planting to
eliminate annual weeds.
If corn is planted later than mid-May, yields generally decrease. However, planting too early (in
soil temperatures lower than 60°F) may lead to slow corn emergence and greater weed
competition. Growers are advised to use desired plant density (24,000-26,000 plants per acre) to
calculate their seeding rate, which should ideally be about 10% higher than the plant density.
(Use the following calculation if germination rates or low seed weights are a concern.) Very
high seeding rates can lead to lodging once ears have formed.
