Early plantings not always highest corn yields say Purdue agronomists
Purdue extension agronomists report early corn planting at 10 day intervals does not guarantee the best yield. In 14 years of experiments led by S R Mites, yields were highest only once when plantings ranged from April 28 to May 10, with mid to late May often outperforming earlier dates.

Corn spacing a big factor in higher corn yields
Purdue agronomists report adjusting planting rates to fertility boosts can raise yields. Narrower row spacing increases plant population and yields, with 40 inch rows suitable for 75 bushels per acre land. 10 inch spacing boosts 125 bushel levels, and 7 to 8 inch spacing for 125 bushels. Trials show 13 to 10 inch spacing yields gains, with no losses in drought years.
