"THE CANAMAIZE ADVANTAGE"
The CanaMaize Advantage for Upland Birds!
* Short 65 or 69 day growing season.
* Provides dense cover found attractive by upland birds. *
* A high volume of grain provides a valuable food source. *
* With a short stature of 4.5-5 feet hunters will be able to hunt safely in CanaMaize. *
* Hunters will loose less birds as birds can be marked properly. *
* CanaMaize can be solid seeded using any conventional seed drill, corn planter or broadcast seeded. *
The CanaMaize Advantage for Waterfowl!
* Short 65 or 69 day growing season. *
* With CanaMaize the ears start at 1.5-2 feet off the ground-ideal for flooding. *
* High in protein and a taste waterfowl can't resist make CanaMaize a perfect food source. *
* Flexible planting rates make it perfect for creating landing zones for waterfowl. *
* Can be broadcast with other waterfowl favorites for the ultimate waterfowl habitat. *
* Short maturation allows you to wait till marginal /wet land dries *
The CanaMaize Advantage for Big Game!
* Short 65 or 69 day growing season. *
* CanaMaize stand just 4.5-5 feet . Place your stand over CanaMaize and harvest a trophy! *
* CanaMaize was developed to feed animals, deer love it! *
* CanaMaize can be solid seeded using any conventional seed drill, corn planter or broadcast seeded. *
* Try broadcasting or planting or broadcasting CanaMaize and forage soybeans, deer love it late season *
The CanaMaize Advantage for Grazing and Forage for Cattle!
* CanaMaize provides excellent forage for fall and winter grazing
* Great yields provide some of the lowest daily feed costs possible for grazing forages o Yields (link)
* Costs compared to cereal forages (link)
* CanaMaize is an early maturing corn variety.
* CanaMaize matures faster than traditional corn
* Harvest moisture is lower - ears fill faster
* Early maturity means reliable dependable kernel development resulting in high energy forage
* CanaMaize costs less to produce than traditional corn hybrids
* Costs for conventional CanaMaize seed are significantly lower than hybrid corn seed
* CanaMaize can be solid seeded and harvested with conventional equipment - No specialized corn equipment required
* CanaMaize is a short stature corn growing 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 feet tall. Short stature means:
* More plants can be planted per acre than with other corn varieties
* Higher plant population forms an early canopy - Suppresses weeds & Increases grazing yield
* Swathing is easily managed for swath grazing
* Rapid whole plant dry-down makes baling an option for producers
* CanaMaize has thin palatable stalks.
* Stalks are easily digested and palatable to livestock
* Increased palatability means total plant utilization in grazing areas - less residue left in the field & less waste of
available grazing forage
* Despite thin diameter, lodging resistance is excellent
Grazing Management Tips
" Run portable fencing perpendicular to swathes or standing crop to make use of the insulating value of the swath or standing crop.
" The ground below the swath freezes later than the surrounding ground enabling posts to be easily pushed directly through the swath. " A cordless drill used to drill into frozen ground can make post placement easier.
" Use a vice-grip or wrench to turn the post before removing from frozen ground
" If the crop is left standing, drive a snowmobile, four-wheeler, or tractor to make paths for running fences. Mowing in fall makes place¬ment even easier.
" Grounding in snow may require double wire fencing with both a positive and ground wire.
" Where possible use 110 volt energizers instead of batteries and solar panels in winter. Snow can cover the panels and cold tempera¬tures often rob batteries of their power.
" Portable fence posts have traditionally been made of rebar or fiberglass rod. Some new ideas include spoke-like wheels with an insulator in the centre that can be rolled into position. Check with your local supplier to see what will work best for you.
" Sheep producers often find electrified netting makes the best portable fence. This allows producers to restrict livestock movement longer which reduces residue. This fencing forms a visual barrier as well as a physical one but does require a good fencer as some power is lost.
" Soil compaction from animals will be reduced as soil will be broken up by the frosts in spring.
CanaMaize is available in a conventional and a Roundup Ready variety.
