How can you tell sweet corn stalks from field corn stalks?

Question

holly. im 28, and lived in wisconsin my hole life. not once have i heard an old farmer call it feeder corn,. And field corn and sweet corn does not look the same. there are huge differances.

Answer 1

Field corn stalks will be larger than sweet corn stalks.  Most sweet corn will stay 5 ft or shorter, I have seen field corn grow to 8 ft tall.

Answer 2

I'm guessing you mean feeder corn--a crop intended to feed livestock.

Not really---it looks about the same.
