Youth Aims for Big Corn Yield on One Acre Plot
Richard Geyer, son of Mr and Mrs Carson Geyer, works a little over an acre to push toward 200 bushels per acre. He applies 1,200 lb ammonium nitrate and 1,200 lb super phosphate, plants 40 inch rows and doubles seed to reach about 21 000 plants. He doubles drills to adjust spacing and weeds challenge growth amid frequent rains. He may harvest for grain or silo depending on moisture and ear development. His program also includes a dairy heifer and 3 000 broilers, with a plan to try again if goals fall short.
