Cannamaize is canadian genetic corn that has 2 options. There is a 65 day conventional hybrid and a 67 day roundup ready option. The shorter maturities allow late plantings or work great for replantings if there was a crop failure or weather issue.
Some nutritional reasons I like Cannamaize: It contains the roundup ready 1 trait. The newer genetic corns are designed to dry down fast and as a result, you will see lower protein levels and poor digestion rates. This is why dairy farmers now have to grind corn like pig feed to get decent performance out of it. A study by UW-Madison has shown it takes up to 6 months in storage to get normal digestions out of the new corn varieties. Why plant corn for deer that results in energy values the same as brassicas?
So cannamaize you can buy the roundup ready version for around $200 a bag. It comes in small round seeds so it can be mixed with soybeans or drilled. I have even broadcast seeded it, dragged it and rolled it. This is an option for those of you who want to plant corn but don't have a corn planter or larger equipment.
I have planted cannamaize the last 3 years and will share pictures of it again this year. I planted mine 2 weeks ago.
Under good growing conditions, approximately what kind of yield would it produce?

Plus it's only $205 a bag for and $150 for conventional.
I posted some ear pictures on here 2 years ago and i need to find them for you all. They are not on my android anymore. I have some in the ground that was planted 2 weeks ago and it's exploding.
