Farmers Compare Corn Varieties Across Marshall Township Trials
Eleven corn types were grown side by side on M. E. Davis farm in Marshall township with eight yellow, two white and one calico. Earl Day’s yellow corn stood out for yield and vigor with about twelve bushels per acre difference. white corn differed by twenty one bushels. DeMill corn matured earlier but favors hill drop planters, not edge drop. Top varieties for yield and quality: Copper King from T. J. Stevenson Clare in Lizard township, Krug from Emmett Stallcup Gilmore City in Lake township, and Earl Day’s yellow corn north of Gilmore City. Wallace’s Farmer notes Krug yields about five bushels more per acre than many, and Day’s yellow corn resists poor conditions. Moisture ranged 15.4 to 18.2 percent. samples graded No. 2 to No. 4. All tests were field-sourced.
