Do any of you raise sweet corn and sell it. We had a neighbor that used to sell it down the road but has quit doing it about 2 years ago. His son is off to college and he gave it up when his son left. We plowed up an old pasture and there is an area of it that is too small to really get into with a combine so I am thinking of planting sweet corn there and letting my boy sell it.
My question is how much does it run to plant an acre of sweet corn, seed , fertlizer, etc. I was thinking I might just side dress a little 28% on it when I do the rest of my farm. I will probably put about 130 lbs of actual n on it. I will cultivate it to control the weeds.
Next question is in a normal year how much sweet corn can I expect to harvest. The going price around here seems to be around $2.75 to $3 per dozen.
