If you’re planting corn this spring, Golden Harvest Technical Agronomy Manager Bruce Battles has a few tips to get the most out of your crop. It starts with seeding rates. “Seeding rate management doesn’t always mean you have to increase seeding rates to boost yield potential,” says Battles. “There are a fair amount of hybrids we can identify that can hold yield potential really well at slightly reduced seeding rates. Get a better understanding of the hybrids you’re going to plant and build a plan on that.” Battles says Golden Harvest has new data about hybrid response to fertilizer placement. “If you’re broadcasting fertilizer in the fall as compared to a no-till or a strip-till, there are certain hybrids that respond better than others.” Hear the story.
