Hybrid Corn Growth Boosts Gallia County Yields
Gallia County reports 60 percent of this fall’s corn harvest from hybrid varieties. County Agent E. G. Royer notes hybrid corn yields far exceed open-pollinated types, with 108 to 111 ears per ten stalks compared to nine and a half for older varieties. Only a few growers produce hybrid seed locally. Hybrid corn requires 7 to 10 years to breed and cannot be used for seeding as it reverts to type. It offers disease resistance and could free up land for other crops and pasturage.
