Four Kernels Per Hill Yields Best Corn Returns
Iowa State College extension agronomist Ed Dyas reported that planting four or slightly more kernels per hill yields the largest corn harvest on good to above average Iowa soils. Tests show that with rows and hills 40 inches apart, planting rates producing about half a pound per hill offer the highest yields under most Iowa conditions. Trials across the state over several years support this finding.
