Choosing Early-Maturing Corn Varieties and Organic Fertilizers

Introduction

Short growing seasons demand early corn and proper organic feeding.

Look for "Precocious" or other early hybrids. Local extension services recommend best varieties for your area.

Corn is a heavy nitrogen feeder. Use seed meals, blood meal, balanced organic fertilizers, or compost.

Plant early-maturing corn and feed with high-nitrogen organic amendments for a successful short-season crop.
