Seed Cory Johnny Don ts Seed Selection

Don t select bare tipped ears or very long ears. Don t let moisture or weather ruin seed corn. Don t assume careful crib selection equals field success. Don t pick ears from large stalks in poor soil. Don t ignore shelling percentage when estimating yield. Don t assume pampered ears beat breeding stock. Don t choose ears near barren stalks wind pollinated. Don t forget to review your score card to choose ears that yield the most shelled corn per acre.
