Hybrid Corn Raises National Acre Yield
The war years saw record corn crops due to hybrid seed corn and favorable weather. Hybrid varieties, with good soil moisture, raised average national yield from 25.8 to 32.5 bushels per acre, with about 52 percent of acreage planted to hybrids. Hybrids show uniform ear height, fewer barren plants, and better husking. Some hybrids resist disease and pests including chinch bugs, root worm, European corn borer, and corn ear worm.
