College Experts Reveal Corn Better Off In Real Field
Nebraska agricultural college representatives surveyed Lancaster, Cass, Sarpy, Douglas and Saunders counties and found eastern corn appears better in ratings than in the field. Tassels burned by heat and drought mean little pollen for later ears, with only a few kernels set in many rows. The best reported field was Amos Gramlich’s south east of Papillion. In Douglas county views vary with some farmers disputing optimistic surveys and others calling them overly pessimistic.
