Fertilizer Boosts Scott County Corn Yields
Alwin G. Gasser of Sikeston reports 10,480 bushels of corn from 200 acres with fertilizer investments totaling 3,509 dollars. At 1.75 a bushel, his gross returns rose by 7,000 dollars, yielding 52.4 bushels per acre versus a 40 bushel county average. The Dry year and 90 degree heat affected tasseling, but soil tests and Extension Service guidance helped justify the fertilizer program.
