Distance between corn hills improves yields in Illinois study
A state university bulletin reports experiments from 1903 to 1906 across northern central and southern Illinois showing optimum hill spacing. Northern Illinois yields peak at 36 inch by 36 inch hills with three kernels per hill, central Illinois favors 36 by 36 inches with two kernels, suggesting broader planting could raise overall corn yields by several bushels per acre.
