Oregon seed corn supply steady for Willamette farms
Oregon State College extension specialist E. R. Jackman reports no danger of seed corn shortage as Willamette valley farms shift from wheat to corn. Minnesota 13 and McKay Yellow Dent are recommended varieties for grain and silage. The move stems from high corn prices and corn’s high yields with low cash costs, with capacity to add 80,000 to 100,000 acres without market excess.
