Heads Up! Corn Plot SW of Wheaton

This plot was beautiful at one time but lack of rain on a lighter-soil piece of soil changes things. Heavy drought pressure would make you think that the AquaMax corn would do well. The results:

Pioneer P0062amx      - 147.5 bu/a     20.3%     48.8# - Aquamax
Dekalb DKC49-29rib  - 132.7 bu/a     18.8%     49.9#
Pioneer P9917amx      - 149.9 bu/a      18.1%     53.6# **********
Pioneer P9675amx      - 132.1 bu/a      17.1%     52.1#
Dekalb DKC46-20rib  - 139.0 bu/a      17.3%     53.7#
Pioneer P9526yhr        - 142.0 bu/a      16.9%     52.5# - AquaMax

The end result was that the 2 AquaMax and P9917amx(with a real high drought score) did show up to be the highest in the plot. The 2 - 100day hybrids didn't make maturity either as they died early as evidenced by the extremely low test weight.
