Nice looking taters!

As for corn, I found this in a book I have. You can expect 18 lbs of corn from 100 square feet.

Thanks Deb!! I think about 6 rows will be enough. About 2 or 3 ears a day for the poultry and then some cracked every now and then for the rabbits. What do you think?

It would depend on how close you plant them, and how many ears you get per plant. When I plant (sweet) corn, I plant it in rows that are 1 ft apart, and have the plants 8" apart. So, if I did it as a 4x4 box, I'd have 35 plants, 2 ears/plant would give me 70 ears max. I haven't grown field corn yet, plan to try it next year and see if I can grow it the same way.

Im anxious about it. I m want to be more reliant in the animal feeding also...something I call Seeking Sustainability with Sustainability.

Well after some much needed prayer and some songs from the sacred harp, I feel much better. Although if you would pray for me it would be much appreciated. I need guidance. Thanks peoples.
