Actually corn crop is not made until half milk line / black layer, genetics that get yield from kernel size receive 50% of their yield from dough to half milk line. Watch some videos on agronomy and learn something
Absolutely agree!! This is why once in a while we get lucky with "where did it all come from?" yields. Going from APH to field record yields happens with basically the exact same ears per acre and within +/- 10% of kernels per ear. Field records happen when late-season plant health and late-season weather produce huge kernel weights. It helps a ton to have adequate moisture and cooler than normal weather to extend dough to black layer by an extra week.
No local nor regional weather forecast at the beginning of July can predict this situation in late August... |
