Subject: RE: Big Ears = Big Yields Right?



South Central Iowa
Yeah, sometimes I have to remind myself they are radio guys, not agronomists, marketers, or farmers... Usually it is on one of those ugly days when we are down 40c in soy and 15c in corn and they are acting like everything is sunshine and lollipops! Haha!

The best fields I ever step in are always tipped back. I see them when I'm up north; 18-20x35 that could have been 45 long. At first you think there is trouble, but then you count the stand and see there are 35,000 viable ears per acre and you just go: WOW! That's over 250! And the whole field looks like it; if only it weren't for the 10% that ponds.

If my whole field is 20x35, something bad probably happened and I have a plant population under 25,000. LOL!
