New corn strains show promise on Clare county plots
On September harvest at Lowell Penrose farm, two strains KS2 and 114 show potential for Clare farmers. KS2 appears mature with a robust ear and sturdy stalk, while 114 yields well though less visually appealing. Final judgment awaits moisture tests and corrected weights. Michigan State College crops head Mr. Johnson praised the Penroses for care. Clare plats are described as best in the project. FFA boys from Clara helped with harvest.
