Grain Maize

In good maize corn growing climates the Samco System allows earlier sowing with Higher Yielding Varieties. Sowing starts at the end of March/early April. This extra growing time ensures that the crop is well established for the growing season. When the growing season is complete the crop has plenty of time to transfer all the sugar into the grain before the autumn frost begins.
