Resiliency. Now I’m not saying this corn looks amazing. And I’m not saying it’s going to do 300 bushel. But a week ago this field looked virtually like a dirt field, post hail. Aren’t these living plants remarkable? Agriculture as a whole, never ceases to amaze me.

Finally some university evidence supporting what good agronomists have long known - high yield corn is driven more by kernel weight than kernel count. High yield corn is all about the last 40 days! Test weight / kernel size / kernel weight is SIGNIFICANT!

There is no optimum nitrogen rate to drive kernel weights but the plant does provide clues to its N needs, says Tony Vyn @PurdueAgronomy on Corn School. ow.ly/44iZ50HAWWB

Corn School: Kernel weight pumps up yield

2021 was a big year for corn yield in Ontario. Although not official, the average yield is expected to check in at just over 200 bu/ac — a new record. On this episode of RealAgriculture's Corn...

2021 was a big year for big yields in the NCGA corn yield contest with 418 entries topping 300 bu/acre, easily surpassing the previous high of 224 set in 2017. Pioneer extended its run as the top seed brand among high yield entries.

Want 2 b a better user of N in your corn crop? Check your soil test K levels! Great research by OSU showing what we see in customers fields. Low K requires more N & still delivers less bushels. Raised 44 more bu on 100 LESS lbs of N b/c of better K levels. 0.85 units of N/bu.

Picking corn last night. Truck with 2 small kids drove by really slow and kids were waving. Motioned for them to meet at the end of field. Gave the boys their first combine ride. They left on top of the world. Little things in life make a difference.

Note: 1) corn silks emerging before tassel emergence, and 2) tiny tassel sizes. Both are the direct result of plant breeding for greater stress tolerance. Well done, corn breeders!
