Ear to Row Breeding Makes Rich Corn Yields, Zeller Says
Willard Zeller, famous Iowa corn breeder, details a multi year ear to row selection method. He reports farm yields rising from 90 to 83 bushels per acre over successive years and notes 112 to 118 bushel ears producing superior field results. He compares high yield with rare low outcroppings to illustrate genetic variation and the value of centralized seed lines. Zeller cites national show wins and calls the method invaluable to corn breeders. The piece also notes Zeller’s prominence at Ames and San Francisco shows.
