Seed corn harvest advances at Jacques fields
Seed corn harvest is on schedule at Jacques with four row picker selection of female plants and male sterile rows left standing. Dr. Burmood notes timing of planting to synchronize pollen release with silk development, while harvest begins around Labor Day in western Wisconsin. Jacques totals include 7,500 acres in Prescott and 11,000 more in Illinois and Iowa, plus seed operations in California and other states. Researchers push hybrid improvements after 1930s Connecticut work, with Jacques testing about 3,300 varieties and about 150 commercially offered.
