I would be more impressed if you were growing Dr. Pepper cans in your fields......but yes, that should make decent corn if that's the way all the ears look.

Is that a 12 oz can or one of the mini 6 oz ones?

Re: How's this look.....

I think that kernel is trying to pull a fast one here -- lol -- I just got back from my out of country crop tour - that corn is from Greenland !  Most of the corn over there looks great ! I put the yields at 377 bpa there . Trend for Greenland is 232 - !

 

The corn in Iceland - is running alittle behind - wet and cool spring - but is comeing on like gang busters - i put Iceland at 234 bpa - trend = 121 !

 

As far a Ireland - the southern part is in need of rain - bad     but has great stands and for the most part still has a good chance to beat trend of 195 bpa .

 

Northern Ireland - Record CROP ! - my best guess is 223 bpa !

 

Norwegian crops look good - they plant 15 day corn over there - so if the can get another week in the 50's - they should have a bumper crop . = 135 bpa -- trend 25 bpa

 

The only poor area I toured was in the country of Iowa - -- poor farming pactices looks to be the cause - It appears that -- in the hurry to get done planting -- to play golf all summer --- they forgot to  fill the planters ! No chit ! a large area in the Northern part is this way --- just shaken my head here .  Anyway over all the other parts are pretty dang good - even in the southern part of podunk county = 175 to 180 bpa .

 

Have a good one !

Re: How's this look.....

depends a lot on standing population and uniformity throughout the field.  Also depends on how it finishes.  If it stays well watered and doesn't wilt away in an unexpected heatwave I would say your chances of an above average crop look pretty good.

You have to use a Busch Lite can to have a official sample!

Shoukdnt a 6 ounce Dr. Pepper can be called a PA Pepper? Sorry guys I found the can on the side of the road. I don't drink soda pop or alcohol. It's bad for the body mind and soul.

This corn was planted @ 14,000 on 60" rows it all has 2 ears per stalk with some having a third.
