Recently moved into a new build home in Dayton, TX, a (slightly) remote suburb NE of Houston.

I have heard the area where this neighborhood is built used to be a soybean farm.

Seek says it is indeed maize, is this corn? How do I get it out of my yard? Should I become a corn farmer?

    Dig it up by the roots at dusk and toss it in your neighbor’s yard

  2. Could be milo/sorghum. I’ve got it coming up in places. Looks like corn initially.

    Most likely. Thank a squirrel.

    Three choices

    -Roundup

    -Dig it out.

    -Wait for it to grow and hope it is sweet corn. But you will have to fight off the raccoons.

    Could be milo. Is there a bird feeder nearby?

    Could be corn I have a mowing business and a yard I went to the other day had some corn plants along his fence line he said he don’t know how corn would even get there. I could see bird feeders on his neighbor’s side of the fence and I said see those bird feeders corners usually in bird seed That’s where it’s coming from

    Yes that’s corn. Johnson grass leaves are not that thick. Just pull it

    Isn’t that a banana tree? Anyway, leave it there, what’s the problem?

    Likely not corn but either Egyptian wheat, millet, or sorghum, probably from a bird feeder.

    It not corn.

    The whirl at the bottom is way too loose. There are no brace roots and way too many leaves.

    It’s likely Johnson grass.

    Ha. I had the same issue. Squirrel and bird feed got me

    Looks like corn to me. Personally I’d mow around it and see what it becomes

    That’s corn. I have a similar issue with sunflowers in my yard 😂
