Hybrids Play Major Role in Corn on Corn Yield

Chuck Zimmerman

Bruce BattlesBesides hearing from a researcher and a farmer we also heard from Commodity Classic Learning Center sponsor Bruce Battles, Agronomy Marketing Manager, Syngenta Seeds. The subject was Maximizing Yield in Continuous Corn.

Bruce says the company is investing a lot of time and money in testing their hybrid specific recommendations to increase the percentage of success their customers have. When it comes to corn on corn he says the biggest controllable difference a grower can make is hybrid selection. He suggests growers get as much yield information as possible to find the best one that will work on their fields.
