Plant Corn Early Says Agronomist To Crop Group
Harrisburg area farmers boost corn per acre due to improved practices. Clarence Bryner of Pennsylvania State University tells the Pennsylvania Crop Improvement Association that average yields reached 65 bushels per acre in 1965 with some growers exceeding 100 bushels. He cites late fall or early spring plowing, earlier planting, slower planting speeds, and proper fertilizer placement as key factors for better stands and yields.
