I recently finished a new impoundment in Hyde county, for a variety of reasons I did not get it completely ready in time to plant conventional corn. put part in buckwheat and chufa which are both doing well. I did not want sorghum so I looked for a corn alternative and found CannaMaize a 65 day to maturity round up ready corn. seemed to be just what I was looking for. It would be mature in mid Sept and thoroughly dry by flooding time in mid nov. planted 7 acres of the stuff and it readily came up and looked good. While it was roundup ready it did not have the bug resistance the varieties of corn used by Hyde county farmers. A local farmer and I checked it yesterday and I saw 7 acres of great expense almost consumed by beale bugs and army worms. Had to break out the planter and quickly put in soybeans and millet.
CannaMaize is supposed to be great for waterfowl. however until I solve the bug problem it will not work where I planted it.
