Recent university studies find that corn kernels usually hold their weight through the dry-down process while pinpointing the operational realities that lead to missing grain.
Innovative research is revealing thousands of untapped genes that could help breeders develop hybrids with better stress tolerance, grain quality and performance across diverse farming systems.
The answers to which hybrids, products and practices paid off may already be in your fields. The trick is stopping long enough to find them, say David Hula and Randy Dowdy.
Farm Journal Field Agronomists say adjusting yield calculations for compromised plants could reveal 20 to 40 fewer bushels per acre than what farmers in parts of the Eastern Corn Belt currently expect.
PTI Farm research reveals how GMO, non-GMO and organic corn each offer unique economic advantages depending on local markets, input costs and management capabilities.
Yield champions Randy Dowdy and David Hula saw hybrid performance differ significantly this season in the same fields under the same management practices. Their evaluation process went beyond yield and can help corn growers working on their seed decisions for 2027.
Led by Blue River Technology co-founder Jorge Heraud, the startup says it can improve fertilizer placement.
Day 1 of the Pro Farmer Crop Tour highlights a deeply divided Corn Belt. Scouts find drought-damaged corn but surprisingly resilient soybeans in the West, while the East battles mud and highly uneven maturity.
