Heads Up! Corn Plot along Johnson Tar

This plot was found along the Johnson tar between Herman and Wheaton. Good plot location and like alot of fields, went under moisture stress. The results:

Dekalb DKC43-27     151.6 bu/a     15.5% - had 5 gal/a 6-24-6 starter fert + 5oz/a Ascend
Pioneer P9675amx     135.9 bu/a     17.5%
Dekalb DKC46-20     146.2 bu/a     18.5%
Pioneer P9917amx     142.3 bu/a     19.0%
Dekalb DKC48-12     140.2 bu/a     18.5%
Pioneer P0062amx     140.6 bu/a     20.0% - was broke over
Dekalb DKC49-29     143.3 bu/a     20.5%
Dekalb DKC43-27     153.7 bu/a     16.0% - had 5 gal/a 6-24-6 starter fert + 5oz/a Ascend

The yields were pretty much the same except for the starter fert/Ascend-apllied strips. They were 10-12 bu/a better and 2-4% dryer. Pioneer didn't win this plot and P9917 did not stick out as in other plots. Proof that we show you all the data, not just the cherry-picked data. No one company or hybrid wins everything.
