Many cows in the world will eat zero bushels per year per head. Cows in the states fed a supplement of corn may only consume five to ten bushels of corn a year per head. Still others that are in a intensive commercial operation may eat anywhere from 50 to 200 bushels of corn per year, if not more, and depending on the weight, class, age, breed and type of cows being fed, as well as what other feedstuffs are fed in addition to corn.

How many bushels of corn to feed one cow through winter?

What is cow corn?
"Cow Corn" or animal feed is simply corn that is harvested later than sweet corn. "Cow Corn" is then dried and used for animal feed, or used in ethanol. Field corn is a far less sweet for of corn and is not the same as sweet corn. It has more carbohydrates and is grown differently. Most corn will grow only one ear per stalk. Newer hybrids of field corn can grow two or three ears per stalk. It has a far drier taste then sweet corn.
Is it true that farmers grow corn by planting cow corn on the out side and sweet corn on the inside of the field so that people don't take the sweet corn?
Actually no.. quite on the contrary if any. If the farmer grows both cow corn and sweet corn, the way we did it was the sweet corn on the outside 3 or 4 or however many rows, and the cow corn on the inside. It made it easier to pick, and you didn't ruin any cow corn when you tried to harvest it, because the outside was sweet corn which had already been picked.Additional Info.While it is very occasionally done, as both the answer above and one of the discussion points mention, it is only done in either way (outside or inside the field) on a very small portion of the field -- for the farm family's convenience. If you want high quality sweet corn, it must be planted in a location isolated from field (cow) corn, or any other type of corn, because the other corn's pollen will make the sweet corn kernels go "starchy". The best sweet corn (and what you buy in the can or frozen) is grown in a field all by itself for this reason.
