FFA members conclude Agway corn population demo results
Gary Hunt and Neal Updike report corn yields from plots at 20 000 to 28 000 plants per acre with Seneca and Funk varieties. Plots adjusted to acre yield show moisture corrections and a 114 to 116 percent plant-to-harvest loss. Economic notes suggest higher populations pay in good years on fertile land.
