[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 894934, member: 7509"] As long as you pick a variety of corn that stands well, holds it ears yet is still palatable, providing grazing despite deep snow is one of the advantages of this system. In Alberta I would definitely go with the recommendations as in the DeKalb seed corn brochure I linked to a couple places above. Variety selection is very important in this system. Here's a photo from last winter I found quickly, I have some pictures with deeper snow yet but can't find it right now and have to get off the computer. We don't have as much snow so far, only 3-4" on the ground but it was about 6 below zero F here this morning. [img]http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/SRBeef1/IMG_2862_acouplesteersaggressivelygrazingcorn122810_1_1.jpg[/img] Good luck. Jim (these two steers pictured are part of last year's group that averaged 3.1 ADG on corn) [/QUOTE]
