average. These data show that it is possible to increase corn yields per acre by increasing individual plant yield as opposed to plant density; however, this has not been achieved on a wide scale. There is no guarantee that current trends will continue into the future; however, it seems ...
As growers strive for greater corn yields, the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) National Corn Yield Contest provides a benchmark for yields that are attainable when environmental conditions and agronomic management are optimized.
These values are multiplied to generate an estimate of number of kernels per acre and should be relatively accurate, if you do your part. In order to estimate yield, you must also integrate kernel weight into the calculation. The problem with this method or any other variant for estimating ...
While quality of perennial and annual grasses may be comparable to corn, their yield per acre is significantly less.Corn is commonly used in other parts of the country as a forage source, whether it be for grazing, hay, or silage. Therefore, the main objectives of this study were: to ...
If you want to maximize your yield, grow your early varieties in sand or loam and your late ones in silty or clayey types of soil . Corn, like many other vegetables, prefers acidic and neutral soils with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Thus, it is advised to conduct soil testing to ...

Seeing the different chlorophyll levels, different plant weights, and in some cases, differences in yield, that’s what has built my confidence over the years. Travis Milne – Oregon, MO The plant health was way better, the tops were in the corn, and there were more leaves on the plant...
USDA’s latest Crop Production report estimates this year’s corn production at 14.2 billion bushels or down 7% from last year. Average corn yield is estimated at 169.5 bushels per acre, down 5.1 bushels from 2016. According to the USDA, if realized this will be the third highest yield an...
Never mind that the higher prices themselves should provide all the incentive growers need to increase production, shift their efforts from another crop with a lower yield to corn, encourage research into farming methods that allow more to be grown per acre, etc. Let’s put aside the fact tha...
