The Good, The Bad & The Ugly of Wide-Row Corn

Bob Recker has spent 14 seasons exploring and researching sunlight harvesting by corn. His work has evolved from strip intercropping to tramlines and 60-inch corn rows to even wider row spacing and configuration, which includes an “Opportunity Space,” or the opening between the wide rows. Recker, recognized by conference attendees as a “Best Presenter” recipient, reports on his recent results and the real-world decisions that must be made in evaluating whether to embark on a different farming method. You will learn how to make wide-row corn work in your operation and what to do with the “Opportunity Space” between the rows.
