Corn fodder varies with growth practices and curing skill. Dense plantings yield thin white stalks with poor sweetness and nutrition. For fodder, thin sowing is best so nearly every stalk has a nubbin. Field corn with ear-bearing ears provides more nutrition than thickly sown fodder corn.

Plucking green ears from field corn enriches stalks, making them preferred by cows when ears are removed after full ripening.
