Immature corn is corn that fails to reach adequate maturity
and can not be sold at normal, prevailing market values
without steep price discounts. Corn that is drought
stressed, heat unit deficient, water logged, or frost damaged
meets this definition.
Corn is uniquely suited to silage making. But when corn
is damaged or killed by frost before it reaches the desired
maturity for ensiling, the stage of maturity at the time of
frost is very critical.
