Dent corn is a warm-season annual grain crop widely planted for wildlife food plots, livestock feed, and grain production. It produces tall stalks with large ears that provide a high-energy food source for deer, turkeys, and other wildlife. Dent corn performs best in full sun, warm temperatures, and fertile, well-drained soils. Plant after the danger of frost has passed when soil temperatures have warmed for strong germination and early growth. It requires adequate moisture and fertility to reach its full yield potential and is often used as a stand-alone grain plot or in combination with other warm-season crops.
