[QUOTE="hurleyjd, post: 1075981, member: 4674"] 50 lb. bag of Reids yellow dent corn can be had for $75 dollars . Four bags should plant the four acres. Many years ago my dad and his brothers planted this variety. Made in the neighbor hood of 100 bushels per acre. That is in East Texas and not noted for large corn yields. So you should harvest around 375 to 400 bushels. Harvest in the shuck and store in crib a not problem with mold. So you are looking at about 25000 lb.s of ear corn. When they fed to hogs they only shucked the corn and tossed the ears in the hog pen. I would think that the expense would as an estimate run around $200 dollars an acre. So if you have the time and kid power to harvest by hand then I think it would be worth while effort. Plus if you like it the first time then you can save your seed and not have that expense each year. [/QUOTE]
