An Illinois farmer credits unusually high corn yields to planting two varieties with different maturities. By staggering pollination with early and late types in the same field, he achieved 160 bushels per acre, about five times Indiana's average. He avoids long term seed mixing and suggests small pure seed plots for improvement.
A Wisconsin farmer recounts restoring worn-out land by introducing clover after years of monoculture. Continuous cropping without manure had compacted soil and poor drainage. After starting with oats and clover, drainage improved, allowing corn the next year and ensuing high yields with clover reseeded every third year.
