I expected 109 corn to be dryer than 111 day corn and only expected a couple of bushel difference.
But as we all know every year is different.
It was only wetter by .6 of a point, and the 109/111 day thing is called RELATIVE maturity, meaning it's not an exact science. Oftentimes two different companies may call the same corn a day or even 2 different in maturity based on their own research, experience of their staff, and most importantly, what else is in their lineup. For instance, company A and company B may both have hybrid xyz. XYZ is truly a 110 day hybrid, but company A already has two excellent 110 day products and don't need another one, but XYZ is such a good hybrid they want it in their lineup, so they may call it 111 day with excellent drydown for it's maturity or something like that. |
