On 10/10/13 we harvested the corn show plot across the road from the warehouse. I can't say we learned a lot as this plot got burned up by lack of rain. At one time it was an outstanding plot but you just need more rain than what we got to get great yields. The results:
100 day+ Hybrids:
Pioneer P0533am1 - 153.4 bu/a 19.8% 51.9#
Pioneer 0297xr - 138.8 bu/a 19.8% 52.7#
Pioneer 36V51 - 142.9 bu/a 19.8% 51.9#
Pioneer P0193am - 137.2 bu/a 20.5% 51.7#
Pioneer P0062amx - 137.3 bu/a 19.8% 51.2#
97-99 day Hybrids:
Dekalb DKC49-29 - 132.3 bu/a 19.0% 53.2#
Pioneer P9917amx - 162.7 bu/a 18.2% 52.9# **********
Pioneer P9834hr - 146.1 bu/a 18.9% 51.3#
94-96 day Hybrids:
Pioneer P9630amx - 126.7 bu/a 16.9% 51.6#
Dekalb DKC46-20 - 149.3 bu/a 16.9% 52.9#
Pioneer P9675amx - 134.9 bu/a 16.0% 52.9#
Pioneer P9526amx - 128.9 bu/a 15.5% 52.9#
92-93 day Hybrids:
Pioneer P9366xr - 122.7 bu/a 15.0% 51.6#
Dekalb DKC43-48 - 125.5 bu/a 14.8% 51.9#
Pioneer P9305yhr - 117.6 bu/a 14.7% 52.8#
We did learn one thing, only one hybrid rose above the drought and heat and showed itself as the clear winner. That was P9917amx which was 10 bu/a better than any other hybrid and 25 bu/a better than most. P9917 has a very high drought tolerance score and it showed.
