    So, I bought a 50lb bag of corn the other night from a local gas station, came in the standard yellow bag labeled"corn", So i opened it up at home to find out it's mostly red, and stail, There's no smell to it really either, I bait in my yard, sometimes a doe comes around in daytime, But could it just be old corn? The deer haven't touched it....

    Sounds like it may be old seed corn.

    Probably a seed treatment.


    Although that doesn't explain why it's at a gas station?

    So you tasted it to find out it was stale?

    It could have been cinnamon flavored, have to be certain.

    I'm trying to figure out why a gas station sells corn...lol.

    I don't know anything about the color though. Reminds me of corn that you get with your cornstalks in fall that the corn is partially red.

    Google "treated seed corn"

    Looks like you might get a crop of corn in your backyard...

    Not treated seed corn, Mostly red in the middle, and looks old.
