Growers urged to cull poor corn to avoid market discounts
The Department of Agriculture warns corn producers in Minnesota Iowa Illinois and Ohio to remove damaged ears at husking in the field and at crib storage to prevent low grades. Damaged kernels lower grades and prices, while removing damaged ears can improve overall quality and resale value. Damaged corn remains largely worthless in markets but can feed on farms.

Ohio yields in the Forty Bu sh el Wheat club show several farmers reaching sixty plus bushels per acre, with Urban Troeger’s 63.8 and Matt Ermen’s 68.62 bushels marking notable performances though disqualified for minimum area rules.
