Food Plots question about spraying corn

[diamond hunter]

OK,My corn is over a foot high.All fertilized,and mostly weed free except one field has short grass in the whole field.I have a tractor and a boom sprayer.My question is how do I spray it without running over and killing a crapload of it?

If it's planted in rows and spaced right, you should be able to straddle the corn and your tires will be between the rows. If the corn was broadcast, your only option is sacrafice what will be run over.

Is it roundup ready?

I don't have a planter so have always planted all my food plots using the tractor mounted broadcaster we use for pastures. It does make you cringe to drive through a broadcast planted plot to spray with roundup because you do kill some of the plot. But once it gets taller and fills in the gaps you can't even tell you did any damage. Spray it and don't worry about it.

I'd spray it and take a little loss. You may be surprised how little difference you'll see when it fills back in.
