NE Kansas | Looking for suggestions on a good 110 to 114 day hybrid that will do well in the bluffs of NE Kansas.
-6 to 12 inches of silty clay top soil on top of clayey silt (35-50%) clay. Sidehill seeps from springs occasionally.
-Fields are classified as highly erodible, everything is no-tilled.
-36" annual rainfall
-good fertility, pH around 6
-N is fall or spring applied NH3, too many contours to side dress.
-APH is 160 for corn and 47 for beans. In a normal year corn typically yields 185 to 200, and beans are 50 to 60.
I'm looking for real world input. My seed dealers make suggestions based on what does well in their plots. Unfortunately their plots are normally in flat fields that have more silt than clay. I need to do some of my own test plots. There are some local FIRST plots but their yields are usually over the top. I really think that some of the cooperators pick the best corner of land they have for the plot.
