Would this work for spreading shelled (off-the-cob) corn?

If you wanted it spread all over the place. It fans out as it spreads the contents. Works great for fertilizer, grass seed, sand ect.

I haven't tried that, but I kind of doubt it. There are three holes for material to dispense onto the impeller. There's a short steel rod that spins around to agitate the material, located about 1/2" over the plane of the holes. The holes themselves are about 7/8" dia. Unless the corn consists of very small kernels, I suspect that it would jam. OTOH, if that's all you want to use it for, I think you could enlarge the holes easily to about 1" and still have it work with the existing shutter. The shutter has molded holes in it about 1" dia that can't be enlarged without weakening it to the point of assured failure. I haven't tried that, but I kind of doubt it.

The idea behind this is to cover a lot of ground and avoid the back breaking hand seeding. My plot is 30 x 45. It is definitely not designed for the small seed packets, this is intended for bulk seed.

Lee, I use it to pop the corn and it does just fine, at least for me. It doesn't take much. I use about a tsp. full (not heaping, just rounded off) and it makes a pan full. Hope this helps.

Yes, that is what I currently use it on. I set the temperature quite high and when the popping starts to slow alot, I remove it to prevent burning the corn.

You definitely can use it. But t is easy to burn corn so I would do several small applications over the season than one or to large. I would recommend a more balanced additive such as alfalfa meal or worm castings instead

I never tried it. I assume it might not work but in all honesty I'd probably just use a rake. I don't think you'd get the thickness by using the spreader.

Yes, but this corn is an open pollinator, so if other corn is planted close by, you have a chance of growing out cross pollinated corn. I isolated mine, and my second generation stayed true.

That sounds like a question for your doctor about whether it would be OK to use a device like this on corns! I would hesitate to give advice about a health issue. You could ask the company and see what they say as well.

I have not personally tried sand, I have only spread seed but as long as the sand was dry I think it would work great

pour granules into a push spreader if the area is large. if area is small i would fill a plastic cup a sprinkle all over just like you would grass seed.

I think walnut shells work best, but corn cob will work, just not as good. Hope that answers your question. Using a chemical cleaner makes them both work better,

It might since the straw is dry - just feed it a little at a time. It would do cornstalks (which are notorious!) as long as I did one, then alternated with woody material.

We have used it many times to freeze vegetables and keep them fresh longer in the fridge. We have not used them yet for corn on the cob. We will try this when Northern Michigan's corn is harvested.

Yes. But note that it is not a broadcast spreader, so you spread path is only as wide as the unit. Note that you can spread seed and fertilizer at the same time, also, if you want to.

i don't see why it couldn't...I used my drop spreader for grass seed and it worked

yes but it's not recommended as written on packaging. Stainless steel or all aluminum construction spreader would be a better long-term choice or for commercial applications

yes, it works great with cracked corn. However, if you use the solar battery, you will need to clean off the solar shield as it will get corn dust on it.
