There are reports of larger-than-normal corn kernel size this fall. NDSU Extension Agronomist Clair Keene said larger kernel size doesn’t necessarily mean more yield. “If your corn was drought stressed during the pollination and grain fill period, you probably have fewer kernels on the cob which leaves those left more space to get bigger.” On the flip side, Keene said bigger kernels could mean a higher test weight.
