Lande High Prairie Farms Corn Plot

This plot is located 5-6 miles southwest of Wheaton. Planted in 20" rows on April 30th, harvested on October 8th, 2012. Harvest witnessed by grower and Wheaton-Dumont Elevator reps. This plot was stressed for water during July so didn't reach full potential for this year. The results:
Pioneer P8906hr     - 190.2 bu/a - 10.8% - 57.9#
Dekalb DKC43-30  - 207.8 bu/a - 11.3% - 59.8#
Dekalb DKC43-48  - 208.4 bu/a - 11.4% - 58.9#
Channel 192-09      - 212.5 bu/a - 11.7% - 59.3#
Pioneer P9411hr     - 197.1 bu/a - 12.1% - 60.1#
Channel 196-06      - 212.6 bu/a - 12.7% - 60.2#
Dekalb DKC46-20  - 205.2 bu/a - 11.7% - 61.9#
Channel 196-76      - 206.4 bu/a - 11.9% - 60.4#
NuTech 5X-696      - 203.7 bu/a - 12.7% - 60.5#
Dekalb DKC50-66  - 212.1 bu/a - 12.2% - 60.6#
Channel 197-67       - 221.8 bu/a - 12.2% - 59.9#
Pioneer P9675amx  - 214.3 bu/a - 12.3% - 60.2#
Dekalb DKC48-12  - 214.1 bu/a - 11.7% - 59.8#
Dekalb DKC49-30  - 213.8 bu/a - 11.5% - 60.8#
Pioneer P9917am1 - 235.1 bu/a - 12.6% - 60.3#
Dekalb DKC50-77  - 204.1 bu/a - 12.2% - 61.1#
Pioneer P0062xr     - 223.1 bu/a - 12.6% - 58.0#
NuTech 5N-001      - 210.9 bu/a - 13.0% - 57.0#
- Three of the top four hybrids were Pioneer with P9917am1 winning the plot 12 bu/a more than the second place P0062! P9675amx is just barely fourth but it is a 96 day corn up against 99-100 hybrids in the last half of the plot so it gets the nod as far as I am concerned.
