Caution urged in selecting hybrid corn seed amid regional variances
Beadle County Agent Leonard Ladd reports that hybrid corn yields vary by location from the heartland to Central South Dakota. Tests since 1936 show hybrids often underperform open pollinated varieties in Beadle County, with only a few adapting well to local soils and climate. Farmers are advised to test locally, avoid hybrids newer than 100 days, and buy cautiously due to seed shortages and logistic pressures affecting hogs and packing plants.
