Big ears mean less corn in farmer guide notes
Corn growers are advised that ear size does not directly determine yield. Higher stalk density and proper fertilization improve bushel output, with drills outperforming hill planting under certain conditions. Indiana and Illinois agronomists suggest around 12 000 to 16 000 stalks per acre for top production, depending on soil fertility and moisture.

Thrifty hog finishing on corn and kudzu plots

Feeding and finishing hog litters on clover and corn
The report notes finishing kudzu and fed corn by September and furrowed litter work on white clover in September. Pigs from the litter are placed on crimson clover around November 1 and given full corn feed until finished in March. Mineral mix is always available and a protein supplement is fed to pigs under 50 pounds when legumes are short.
