Yesterday we harvested our 2021 DFS Corn Variety Trial. These on farm trials enable farmers to see localized yield result. The farmers then can select the right product, for the right acre.
This plot was planted on 5/15/21, and harvested 10/26/21. The varieties are listed in order of yield

Thank you for making our 2019 Field Day a success! We had growers attend from 6 different counties! Even though the early morning rain made things a little soggy, the Agronomic information provided by the speakers was excellent! The 2020 Field Day is already in the works, and we look forward to seeing everyone there!
