Organic Corn
Energy-Rich Grain for Season-Long Attraction
Our certified Organic Corn is a warm-season annual designed to deliver powerful attraction and high-energy grain when wildlife needs it most. Corn produces abundant biomass through summer and transitions into carbohydrate-rich ears that help carry deer and other wildlife through fall and winter.
Whether planted as a stand-alone crop or blended into a seasonal mix, organic corn creates structure, security cover, and long-lasting food value that supports herd health and improves habitat diversity.
Increase attraction. Add structure. Plant with confidence.
Benefits for Wildlife
- Energy-dense grain supports body weight heading into winter
- Strong summer growth provides security and bedding structure
- Excellent late-season attraction when ears mature
- Heavy biomass improves soil organic matter
- Versatile option for monoculture plots or custom blends
Planting Guidelines
- Seeding Rate: 20–25 lb per acre (adjust for row spacing or broadcast planting)
- Planting Depth: 1–1½ inches
- Best Planting Window: Late spring through early summer (soil temps 60°F+)
-
Site Prep:
- Plant into a clean, firm seedbed with adequate moisture
- Ensure consistent planting depth for uniform emergence
Soil & Maintenance Tips
- Conduct a soil test prior to planting and adjust pH to 6.0–7.0
- Corn is nitrogen-demanding—apply recommended nitrogen levels based on soil test results
- Monitor early weed competition to protect young plants
- Allow ears to mature fully for maximum late-season food value
Frequently Asked Questions
Is your organic seed certified?
Yes. Our organic seed and mixes are certified by MOSA Certified Organic.
Will this come back next year?
No. Organic corn is an annual crop and will need to be replanted each year.
What are organic corn seeds used for?
Organic corn provides warm-season forage and high-energy grain that attracts deer and other wildlife throughout the summer and into early fall.
When should I plant organic corn?
Plant corn after the last frost once soil temperatures are consistently above 60°F for reliable germination and strong early growth.
How much seed do I need per acre?
For a solid stand, plant corn at approximately 22,000–28,000 seeds per acre, which typically equals about 24–30 lb per acre depending on seed size and spacing.
How deep should I plant the seed?
Plant organic corn about 1.5–2" deep in a firm, prepared seedbed to ensure good soil contact and even emergence.
Do I need to fertilize when planting corn?
Yes. Conduct a soil test before planting and apply nutrients according to recommendations. Corn benefits from balanced fertility, especially nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
What wildlife will organic corn attract?
Organic corn is attractive to deer, turkey, and other game species because of its grain and dense summer forage.
