How's everyones corn yields looking this year. I work for Pioneer so if you have any comments good, bad or otherwise lets hear em. I am a entry level researcher but hey I can pass the word along and we can try to change a few things.

 

Just curious, are you a tech., sales rep., or plant breeder?

 

Pioneer makes corn seed?

(this is a picture of HALF of my storage area)

 

I am on the breeding side of things

 

128 bushels per acer weighing in at 58 pounds Not bad for only putting a little starter on. (County yield is about 70)

 

RAMRODD,
I are you in South Dakota??

 

North Dakota

 

I was curious we have a station in Brookings South Dakota and they had many yields in the 150-175 range.

 

I don't live in Corn country thats for sure Good soil just to dry.

 

I know what you mean here in michigan where we got rain we had some pushin 210 an acre in the areas that didnt maybe 120-150.

 

We averaged about 198 with mostly DeKalb and Pioneer. There were spots where we saw up to 292 on the yield monitor, but we also had many spots doing a lot lower.

 

How did the GM varities get along for ya'll??

 

we had around a 160av we are 20 minutes south of indianapolis some guys around ten miles south from us were seeing around 200 all and all pretty decent year

 

how are the prices for corn lately we r thinking about renting 500 acres in midwest for corn production. We r in the cow calf business wright now

 

I dunno what the yields per acre were here because I don't farm the property, it's leased to a farmer. He told me that it was way down tho, compared to previous years. He had a guy out here weighing the corn to determine a yield amount I guess, but I couldn't stick around to find out the end result. I DO know he's using Pioneer seed.

chaikwa.
