Detasseling Underway On Evans Farm In Emerson Area
Work began Friday near Emerson with 12 local men and Jack Evans detasseling hybrid corn on the Evans land north of town. There are 136 acres to detassle, with five to six weeks expected. During detasseling, extra helpers may be hired under social security numbers as the season progresses. Last year hail cut yields to about 40 bushels per acre instead of the potential 100. Some rows are left undetasseled to fertilize others, and the weed company uses the fertilized rows while the master rows must be disposed of. Jack Evans, son of J L Evans, grows one acre of master corn on his farm.
