Maize Grain

Maize Grain

Maize is a premium quality grain which forms an integral part of pig, poultry and dairy feed rations. It also has a range of human food uses from flours, starch and grits to cornflakes and corn chips. If you’re looking for an alternative land use which delivers solid financial returns with limited labour input, growing maize grain could be the answer for you.
