Measuring and reducing corn harvesting losses (1983)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1983)
Corn left behind when the field is combined represents a loss of profits. Combine losses cannot be reduced to zero, but skillful operators can reduce losses to an acceptable level without affecting the rate of combining. Until corn harvesting losses...
Corn from harvest to health
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1986)
Cross Pollination from Genetically Engineered Corn : Wind Transport and Seed Source
(AgBioForum, 2001)
Pollen transport from genetically engineered corn was evaluated by testing corn offspring from nearby cornfields. Harvested corn, sown in greenhouse flats, was sprayed with glyphosate at second leaf stage. Corn resistant to glyphosate likely cross...
Growing sweet corn in Missouri (2006)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2006)
Sweet corn (Zea mays L. var. rugosa) is one of the most popular summer vegetable crops grown in Missouri. Like peppers, pumpkins, squash and beans, sweet corn is native to the New World where it has been cultivated for more than 4,000 years. Sweet...
Corn silage for beef cattle (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)

Estimating silage value to the crop producer (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
The value of silage is useful information for anyone considering the harvest of corn for silage. A farmer planting and harvesting silage for his own use needs to know the profitability of silage relative to alternative crops that could be grown. A...
Competition and management of volunteer corn (Zea Mays L.) in corn
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Volunteer corn (Zea mays L.) is the result of corn kernels remaining in the field following harvest and is a competitive weed in a number of subsequent crops. With widespread adoption of glyphosate-resistant (Gly-R) corn, Gly-R volunteer corn has...
European corn borer: a multiple-crop pest in Missouri (2001)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2001)
The European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), is perhaps the most destructive corn pest in Missouri and the entire Corn Belt. Crop losses and control costs associated with European corn borer infestations can exceed $1 billion annually...
Pricing corn silage
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2022)
"This guide is intended to help farmers estimate the breakeven price needed to justify harvesting a corn crop as silage rather than for grain. The estimated breakeven price of the standing crop becomes the corn farmer's lower boundary price...
Pricing corn silage

Economics of Specialty Corn Products in Missouri
(University of Missouri Outreach & Extension, 2000-03)

Nutrient, water, and soil type mangement of biofuel feedstock production by corn, sorghum, and switchgrass
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
the uptake of most nutrients, suggesting that nutrient removal will be critical for biofuel production from corn. The nutrient removal by sweet sorghum significantly depended on the year, soil type and N rate. Harvesting switchgrass biomass in late November...
