RE: What is round up ready corn??
Well guys some of what you say is accurate, Monsanto spent the money to develope the RR seed and if you save your own seed then you must pay them a tech. fee fkor their developing, I know of some producers who have been assessed a tech fee just for doing this. Dekalb and Asgrow bothe Monsanto products are good field corn producers, no sweet corn has been developed that is RR. For a small plot I would just plant it and weed it by hand or cultivator. The friends I work for planted 2400 Acres of RR corn and close to 3000 Acres of RR soybeans, but we still have to cultivate our 1 Acre of sweet corn. There is a Glysophate (roundup) problem with Mares tail or horseweed, it will not kill it , it has developed an immunity. I sell Dekalb and Asgrow for these guys and must keep up with some of the details of the products we sell .
