West Kentucky
Just my opinion so take it for what it is worth. Several years ago we had over 20 varieties on less then 1000 acres of corn. That was one of the dumbest things we were doing at the time. You can do a much better job scouting fields and varieties if you don't have so many to keep up with. Not saying you need to only have 3 or 4 but 10 varieties would be excessive IMO. If you spread your risk by growing 5 to 6 different families of corn, that is plenty for most farmers. This is the reason I do buy my seed from one company, that way I am certain that each variety will be different genetics.
