DeKalb, IL | My recollections from the time I was in Stoneville across the river and a ways south of you: cool and wet for the Delta could just be about 'right' for corn. Heat and mid-season moisture stress were always factors in keeping corn from reaching yields similar to those of the Midwest.
A colleague of mine did a Degree Day:Yield study in cotton while I was down there, and found a negative correlation between lint yield and seasonal Degree Days. Absence of stress appeared to be responsible, even in cotton. | |
