Cracked Corn in Nappanee, IN
$7.00 per 50 lb bag | In Stock - Ready for Pickup
If you live around Nappanee, Wakarusa, or Goshen, chances are you rely on cracked corn for something — whether it’s feeding your chickens, keeping your goats healthy,.
At Schmucker Grain & Feed, we’ve been supplying high-quality, locally grown cracked corn to northern Indiana’s farmers, hunters, and homesteaders for years. Folks stop by our home on CR 52 because they know two things are always true here:
our grain is clean, and our stock is full.
Cracked Corn vs. Whole Corn: Which Should You Choose?
We often get this question from customers across Elkhart and Marshall Counties. The truth is, both cracked and whole corn have their benefits — it depends on what you’re feeding and how you use it.
- Cracked Corn: Easier to digest, higher scent for deer attraction, and great for smaller animals or winter feeding.
- Whole Corn: Ideal for larger livestock and slower feeding; lasts longer in feeders.
Some of our customers even mix the two — whole corn for steady supply, cracked corn for quick nutrition. Whether you’re managing a small hobby farm or a hunting property, this blend gives you the best of both worlds.
🌾 Why Hunters Choose Cracked Corn Before Deer Season
Before deer season rolls in and the temperature drops, deer start burning more calories. Hunters around Nappanee, Bremen, and Middlebury know that cracked corn draws deer in and keeps them healthy.
Cracked corn’s natural sweetness and scent carry through the air, making it ideal trail cam sites. The smaller pieces are easier for deer to chew and digest, which helps build body weight and antler size through the fall and early winter.
Many local hunters stop in each October to grab a few bags — and some stock up by the pallet. Our regulars appreciate that we always have cracked corn in stock, even when the big-box stores are running low.
Homesteaders and Farmers Love It Too
For homesteaders and small farmers across northern Indiana, cracked corn is a year-round essential. It’s a favorite for chickens, goats, ducks, and pigs, providing quick energy and encouraging consistent laying and growth.
Cracked corn mixes easily with other feeds and grains, giving your animals balanced nutrition without paying premium prices at the chain stores. Plus, because we source locally, you know your feed hasn’t sat in a warehouse for months — it’s clean, dry, and fresh from our bins.
