What’s New for 1966 Corn Discouraging Last Year
Last year was very discouraging for many corn growers in Halten due to a dry spring delaying germination and heavy clay soils. Fall rains slowed maturity and harvesting, with a larger January harvest leaving fields unplowed and manured. Recommendations urge up to 40 pounds of actual nitrogen to break down stalks, early sowing of earlier maturing varieties, higher populations around 19 000 plants per acre, and careful timing of atrazine applications for weed control.
