Slow Down When Planting Corn Says Expert Panel
A Lancaster County panel warned excessive planting speed limits yields. Experts led by Glen Yoder at New Holland urged slower planting and discussed optimum plant populations, single crosses versus four way hybrids, and soil insecticide use to boost yields. Mentzer won the 134.62 bushels per acre with DeKalb 640, while other top yields included Yoder and Ghek.
