Efficiency and timing may lift 1972 corn profits
Freeman, Linn county extension director, says a 7 to 8 percent acreage drop is likely in 1972 but total production will still exceed consumption. He urges focus on timely, efficient management over chasing the highest yield, notes potential leaf blight issues, stresses soil testing and balanced fertilizer use, warns about seed cytoplasm risk, and highlights weed and pest control plus erosion reduction as key factors for profitable corn farming next year.
