Having said that, corn can be broadcasted with some success. You will just have to understand that management of broadcasted plots will be more difficult and yields will be decreased. Getting the correct amount of seed down will be difficult. Weeds will be more of a problem and handling them will also be more difficult. However, I would not stop this from planting corn.
And you make a real good argument for using RR corn, especially when broadcasting the seed. With RR corn broadcast you can walk the field with a backpack sprayer and take care of those weeds with ease. Yep, RR corn is a lot more expensive but it makes the job of growing corn a whole lot easier. And don't sow the corn seed too heavy is good advice to heed also.
