The Seven Wonders of 300 Bushel Corn
Over the past decade, corn yields of 300 bushels per acre or higher have become more common in the U.S. In this general session presentation, Fred Below, professor of crop physiology at the Univ. of Illinois, revamps his famous “7 Wonders of the Corn Yield World” — with help from Connor Sible, research associate at the Univ. of Illinois. These 7 factors provide a framework for understanding the value of management factors and help you decide what inputs are needed to produce 300 or more bushels per acre of corn on your farm. Below is a past recipient of the conference’s Best Presentation Award.
