Corn Planting Guidance From County Agent

County extension agent Kenneth Ackerman says area farmers can reach about 100 bushels per acre with correct fertilizer placement and good management. He advises placing fertilizer to the side and below the seed, warns that 300 pounds per acre in contact with seed can cut germination by half, and notes nitrogen 30 to 100 pounds, potassium 48 pounds, and potash 24 pounds per acre as typical. He also links stalk density and planter speed to yields, citing 16 147 stalks per acre yielding more than 13 569 per acre, and shows faster planters reduce seed drop per acre from 19 400 to 12 940 at higher speeds.
