While I was having a fun afternoon updating wiring on a Stirator in a bin full of dry corn, my son-in-law took out the test plot in front of the house.  It seems to be a slow year for plot results and this is our first attempt at a plot, so I thought I'd post them on here. I'm not including experimental's. Also, I am not the dealer, just the cooperating farmer.  Yields are shrunk to dry bushels.

I found most interesting the 5608 V3 vs RR comparison.   The soils survey book calls this field Shoals silt loam
