Four of the agronomic coaches from the Corn College Fundamentals event share the yield tips demonstrated during the hands-on and in-the-field breakout sessions.
Joe Schubert, Jason Kienast, Gary Cooper and Terry Finegan were part of the coaching team. Here are some examples of the knowledge shared:
In the soil density pits, coaches showed how the tillage tools are set to run can effect soil density, emergence, and ear count.
In the in-Field Diagnostics, farmers learned how to manage residue with the planter and properly set row cleaners to not pinch residue in the seed trench.
Also in the in-field-diagnostics, seed spacing was focused on to help farmers define double-drops, skips and misplaced seeds.
In the nitrogen management demonstration plot, farmers were coached how to identify how application timing and placement affects the plant’s appearance, structure and ear development.
