Plant Corn for Half Pound Ears
Iowa State College agronomist Ed Dyas explains that ears weighing about a half pound suggest a planting rate around four kernels per hill with 40 inch row spacing yields best overall corn per acre. Higher or lower rates affect ear size and total yield. nitrogen and fertilizer improve fertility, and a 12,000 to 15,000 plants per acre target is advised for good stands.

Little Profit From Fertilizing Soybeans
Townstate College agronomist Cheney tells farmers that most soils show limited yield gains from fertilizer. He notes phosphorus and potassium soils may respond with 0-20-20 at 200 pounds per acre before planting, broadcast and disked in if used. Lime, clover in rotation, phosphate at clover seeding, and manure can raise yields. contour planting on stoneless land reduces erosion and boosts production.

Iowa farmers with small bromegrass fields are urged to consider seed production before plowing under stands. Ed Dyas of Iowa State College notes high seed prices signal a good market, and nitrogen fertilization around 40 pounds per acre can boost seed yield in older stands while also improving soil structure through deeper root systems.

High Corn Borer Survival Across Iowa in Survey
Iowa's overwintering corn borers proved hardy with 10 938 live borers per acre on average across 11 counties. Survey by state and federal entomologists notes 17 percent mortality, typical for prior years, with counts ranging from 2 904 to 24 684 borers per acre. Experts Blickenstaff and Henderson released results, warning winter mortality won’t curb summer infestations.
