If I have a lot of weeds in my corn is it still possible to Grow cobs. It's in a food plot, about 2.5 aces acres of corn It's RR although the roundup didn't seems to do a tone of damage, Must have went too fast. Now the corn is too tall and I run it over when I try to spray it with gater. Will the corn canopy over and will the weeds subsiside and corn grow cobs?

If it is just a food plot and you don't plan to harvest it I wouldn't worry about it a whole lot. A weedy field has more attraction than a weed free field for wildlife. If the weeds start to totally overtake your corn a backpack sprayer would work good to clear out some weeds.

Huh? Where are the weeds? I’ve ran corn where ragweed was taller than the combine. Legit

My corn turned out great along with the beans I planted. I also planted Clover/chickory and I haven’t had a deer in it yet. Brother in-law Farmer counted kernels and figured about 150 bushel to acre. I honestly don’t know why they aren’t eating the clover or chickory We just purchased these 40’s so maybe there isn’t much deer in here
