Corn Selection Tips

Characteristics: When selecting corn products, yield is considered the most critical characteristic. Other characteristics such as emergence, vigor, stalk and root quality, drought tolerance, test weight, drydown and disease resistance all contribute to the final yield as well. Each farming operation requires a package of products with a specific set of characteristics to maximize yield and gross return per acre in any given year.

Multiple Maturities: Selecting several products with various maturities increases the genetic diversity used on an individual farm, and manages the risk associated with weather conditions that will occur in a given growing season. To lower risk, plant 25% of acres in early maturity products, 50% in medium maturity products and 25% in late maturity products for your area. This minimizes the chance of all products being affected by adverse growing conditions. in a given year.
