Default RE: Roundup Ready Corn Questions

Thanks for the replies gentlemen. I appreciate and respect your knowledge on this subject as I've read your posts the past 3 years.
Last summer I had a soil test done on this 5 acres for alfalfa which I will plant 3 acres of. Was undecided what to plant with the remaining 2 acres, but based on my 30 plus years of hunting deer and the fact that the local farmers disc the fields within a week of harvesting, there is really no corn left. I believe corn is the absolute best late season food source, and RR corn is all the farmers are using these days, at least in my area of north central MO. I will have another soil test done to get the fertilizer requirements for the corn. From 2000 to 2005 this field was alternatively planted in RR corn and RR beans but was left idle in 2006. Will have some weeds and grass to take care of first so would like some advice on a glyco product that has worked for you. Lots of choices out there. Also any particular brand of seed any of you prefer. I'm not looking to set a record yield but still want a nice patch of corn I can be proud of and provide a few hundred bushels of corn for the animals. Also any preference as to width of rows for a corn plot that will be one third brush hogged and two thirds left standing. Thanks again for your help. P.S. Soil ph should be between 6.8 to 7.0 as I had 12 tons of ag lime disced in last August.
