How It's Processed Every bag of WC50 goes through a consistent three-step quality process before reaching you: 🚿 Step 1: Washed Kernels are washed to remove surface dirt, field debris, and contaminants › 🔍 Step 2: Screened Screened for size consistency — undersized, broken, or irregular kernels are removed › 🔥 Step 3: Kiln-Dried Kiln-drying removes excess moisture — reducing dust, preventing mold, and extending shelf life Compatible Animals The WC50 is suitable for a wide range of backyard poultry and wildlife species. Note that it is a supplemental feed — not a complete diet. It should complement, not replace, a balanced nutritional program for each species. 🐔 Chickens Excellent scratch grain supplement for backyard flocks 🦌 Deer Popular supplemental attractant feed, especially in fall and winter 🐦 Ground Birds Ducks, turkeys, pheasants, and doves feeding at ground level 🐿️ Squirrels Whole corn is a preferred food for gray and fox squirrels 🦃 Turkeys Whole corn is a natural part of wild turkey dietary foraging 🐦 Other Wildlife Raccoons, opossums, and other ground-foraging wildlife ⚠️Supplemental feed only. WC50 is not a complete or balanced diet for any species. Always ensure animals have access to a complete, species-appropriate nutritional program. Corn should be offered as a supplement or attractant — not as the sole food source. Check local wildlife regulations before feeding deer or wild animals in your area. Compatible Feeder Types 🪣 Gravity Feeders — whole corn flows freely through standard gravity-style tube and hopper feeders without clogging 🪵 Troughs & Pans — can be placed directly in any open trough, platform feeder, or flat feeding pan 🌿 Ground Feeding Areas — scatter directly on clean, dry ground in areas where animals naturally gather and forage 🏗️ Spin Feeders — compatible with most timer-based spin or broadcast feeders used for deer and wildlife 💡Using a feeder rather than ground scattering reduces feed waste, keeps corn cleaner and drier, and makes it easier to monitor consumption. Feeders also reduce the risk of mold from corn sitting on damp ground.

How to Use — Step by Step Choose your feeding method Select a gravity feeder, trough, ground feeding zone, or spin feeder. Position it in an area where your target animals naturally gather or travel — near cover, water sources, or established wildlife trails. Dispense an appropriate amount of feed Pour a measured amount into the feeder or feeding area. For poultry, offer a handful per bird as a supplement alongside their complete feed. For wildlife, start with 1–2 lbs per feeding location and adjust based on observed consumption. Monitor consumption Check feeders regularly. If feed is disappearing quickly, increase the quantity. If feed is sitting uneaten or accumulating, reduce the amount to prevent spoilage and waste. Maintain a consistent routine Animals thrive on consistency. Refill at the same time each day when possible — regular feeding helps attract and retain wildlife and keeps poultry on a predictable schedule. Keep feeding areas clean Remove old, wet, or moldy corn from feeders and feeding areas before refilling. Clean feeders periodically to prevent buildup and bacterial growth. ⚠️Avoid overfeeding. Excess feed left on the ground attracts pests (rodents, raccoons) and can spoil quickly in wet conditions. Feed amounts animals will consume within 24 hours where possible. Seasonal Feeding Tips Spring & Summer Natural food sources are abundant — reduce corn supplementation to avoid overfeeding wildlife Hot, humid weather accelerates spoilage — check feeders more frequently and use smaller fill amounts For backyard poultry, corn is a great warm-weather treat but limit to 10% of daily diet to avoid nutritional imbalance Fall Deer feeding activity increases in fall as animals build fat reserves for winter — ideal time to increase feed volume Turkeys and ground birds actively forage for corn in fall — ground scattering in cleared areas works well Begin consistent feeding schedules in early fall to establish wildlife patterns before hunting season (if applicable) Winter Corn's high carbohydrate content is most valuable in winter — it provides the energy animals need to maintain body heat in cold conditions Increase feed volumes during heavy snow events when natural foraging is limited Check feeders after snowfall — clear snow from feeder openings and ground areas so animals can access the feed Store extra bags in a dry, frost-protected area — corn quality is maintained even in cold storage 🌿Wildlife regulation reminder: Check your local state or regional wildlife regulations before feeding deer, turkey, or other game animals. Some states restrict or prohibit supplemental wildlife feeding, especially near hunting areas or during certain seasons. Care & Storage Store in a cool, dry place — a garage, barn, shed, or storage room away from moisture Keep the bag sealed when not in use — humidity is the primary cause of clumping and mold For opened bags, fold the top tightly and secure with a clip, or transfer to an airtight container or metal bin with a lid Protect from pests — store in a rodent-proof container or metal trash can if mice or rats are a concern in your storage area Do not store directly on concrete floors — elevate on a pallet or shelf to prevent moisture wicking through the bag Inspect the bag periodically for signs of moisture, mold, or pest intrusion — discard any corn that is discolored, has an unusual odor, or shows visible mold Properly stored, whole corn maintains its quality for 6–12 months or longer Troubleshooting 🟡 Mold or Spoilage in Feeder Possible Causes Corn left in a wet or uncovered feeder Rain or condensation entering the feeder Too much corn added at once — sitting longer than 24 hours Solutions Remove all old and moldy corn before refilling — never mix old and new Use a covered or weatherproof feeder to protect corn from rain Fill feeders with smaller amounts more frequently in wet weather Clean the feeder thoroughly with warm water and allow to dry before refilling 🟡 Low Animal Activity at Feeder Possible Causes Feeder location not in an active wildlife area Human scent or activity near the feeder Abundant natural food sources reducing interest Solutions Relocate feeder closer to cover, trails, or established wildlife zones Minimize human presence near the feeder, especially during dawn and dusk feeding hours Be patient — it may take 1–2 weeks for wildlife to discover a new feeding location Try ground scattering near the feeder to draw initial attention 🟡 Excessive Waste / Leftover Feed Possible Causes Overfeeding — too much corn dispensed at once Animal population lower than expected Feed spoiling before animals can consume it Solutions Reduce portion size — offer only what animals consume within 24 hours Switch to a timer-controlled spin feeder for more precise portion control Clear uneaten corn before refilling to prevent buildup 🟡 Corn Clumping in the Bag Possible Causes Bag exposed to humidity or moisture during storage Bag stored on a damp floor Solutions Break up clumps — the corn is still usable if no mold is present Transfer to an airtight sealed container or metal bin Elevate storage off the floor on a pallet or shelf Inspect for any mold or unusual odor — discard if present 🟡 Pests Raiding the Feeder Possible Causes Feeder placed in an open area accessible to all wildlife Ground scattering attracting non-target animals Solutions Use elevated or squirrel-resistant feeders if targeting only certain species Remove ground-scattered corn after each feeding session Accept that whole corn is attractive to a wide range of wildlife — consider this a benefit or use a species-specific feeder 🟡 Dust or Residue in Feeder Possible Causes Bag left open or improperly stored, causing moisture to degrade kernels Normal fine residue settling at the bottom of the bag or feeder Solutions Keep bag sealed and stored dry — the kiln-dry process minimizes dust when properly stored Clean feeders with a dry brush or blow out residue before refilling Discard the bottom of the bag if heavily dusty or damp Quality & Satisfaction 100% NATURAL Sun Joe® WC50 is a consumable agricultural product — it does not carry a traditional product warranty. If you receive a bag that appears contaminated, has an unusual odor indicating spoilage in transit, or has a packaging defect, contact Sun Joe® customer support for assistance. The WC50 contains 100% whole corn kernels — no additives, fillers, or artificial ingredients. Natural variation in kernel color and size is expected and does not indicate a quality issue. Frequently Asked Questions What animals can eat this corn? The WC50 is suitable for chickens and backyard poultry as a scratch grain supplement, deer as an attractant and energy supplement, ground-feeding birds including ducks, turkeys, pheasants, and doves, and a wide range of wildlife including squirrels, raccoons, and other ground-foraging species. It is whole corn — not cracked or ground — so it is best for animals that can process whole kernels. Can this be used year-round? Yes. The WC50 is designed for all-season feeding. Its value varies by season — in spring and summer when natural food sources are abundant, supplementation can be reduced. In fall and especially winter, corn's high carbohydrate and energy content becomes most valuable as animals build fat reserves and need more energy to stay warm. The kiln-drying process also helps the corn remain stable across different seasonal temperature and humidity conditions. Is this a complete feed? No. WC50 is a supplemental feed, not a complete or balanced diet. For backyard chickens, it should be offered alongside a complete layer or grower pellet — corn alone does not provide all the protein, vitamins, and minerals poultry require. For wildlife, corn supplements the animals' natural foraging and diet. Always ensure target animals have access to complete, species-appropriate nutrition in addition to this corn supplement. Can it be used in automatic or gravity feeders? Yes. Whole corn kernels flow freely through most gravity-fed tube feeders, hopper feeders, troughs, and spin/broadcast feeders. The consistent kernel size and low dust formula make it well-suited for feeder use. Always check that the feeder opening is large enough to pass whole kernels without bridging or blockage — most feeders designed for corn or grain will work without issue. Does it contain additives or preservatives? No. WC50 is made from 100% natural whole corn kernels — nothing is added. No preservatives, artificial flavor enhancers, attractant sprays, vitamins, or fillers of any kind are present. The kiln-drying process itself (heat and moisture removal) is what extends the shelf life and reduces dust — it is a physical process, not a chemical one. Why is corn especially good for winter feeding? Corn is a dense source of carbohydrates — the primary energy macronutrient. In cold weather, animals burn significantly more calories to maintain their body temperature. High-carbohydrate foods like whole corn provide quick, accessible energy for this thermogenesis. For deer, this is especially important during winter when natural browse is scarce. For poultry, an evening scratch of corn can help birds generate body heat overnight in cold coops. How should I store the bag after opening? After opening, fold the top of the bag tightly and secure with a binder clip, or transfer the remaining corn to an airtight container — a metal trash can with a locking lid is ideal for a 50 lb bag and also provides rodent protection. Store in a cool, dry area off the floor (on a shelf or pallet). Properly stored, opened corn will stay fresh for several months. Discard any corn that develops a musty or sour odor, visible mold, or signs of pest contamination. Will feeding corn attract unwanted animals? Whole corn is attractive to a wide variety of wildlife — this is both a benefit and a consideration. If you want to limit feeding to specific species, use feeders designed for those animals (elevated platform feeders for deer, poultry-specific enclosures for chickens, etc.). Ground scattering in open areas will attract the broadest range of species. If raccoons, rodents, or other non-target animals are a concern at a ground feeding site, a feeder with access controls or a spin feeder on a timer can help manage when and where the corn is available. How do I know if the corn has gone bad? Fresh whole corn has a mild, sweet, grain scent. Signs that corn has spoiled include a musty, sour, or rancid odor, visible mold (fuzzy growth, typically gray, green, or black), discoloration of the kernels, or an unusual slimy or wet texture. If any of these are present, discard the corn immediately — do not feed spoiled corn to any animal. Moldy corn can contain mycotoxins that are harmful to poultry and wildlife.
