IN Corn Yield check

Finally got out in the field this afternoon - did a pop heck , it came out at 36,000 - Had the planter set at 33764 - Don't know what is going on with that one - Anyway - pulled 5 ears - average around was 14 and they were 34 long - - I used 85 as the divider instead of 90 - t comes out a lot closer most times - even as low as 82 .

 

The yield average came out to 207 bpa - I was disappointed some - but this field was planted May 22nd - And it was heavy to say the least - It had 29 units put on with the planter and then another 180 at V-5 for a total of 209 units . I have a field with 229 units on it and will check it over the weekend .

 

Have a great weekend IMG_1921.JPG

Re: IN Corn Yield check

Ken....What maturity corn do you plant down there in Paradise ??? Corn appears to be starting to dent. My 85 day planted May 10 still 7-10 days away from early dent.

 

Difference in growing degree days has got to be Huge......using political language !!!!!! lol

Re: IN Corn Yield check

JCC - That is a 111 day there - It was planted May 22nd - Later planted corn takes less GDD's - maybe as much as 200 or alittle more - What this do's is shorten the grain fill time .
