THE ADVANTAGES OF SETTING A GOAL
More and more com growers are setting up specific yield goals each
year. They say it encourages them to look at all the factors that
influence yields. They often make changes. Added costs can be more
easily compared with expected returns. People who handle crop pro
duction loans like to see a specific figure on yield, since this can be
translated into income.
And a harvest goal is a tremendous aid in overall planning—helps
you adjust crop acreages, determines the number of livestock you can
carry, helps you decide what you can pay for land, or whether you
can afford certain new equipment.
To set your goal, start with your present yield. Consider the extra
yield potential in your High Capacity Funk’s G-Hybrid—then go for
10, or 20, or 30 bushels more if it looks right to you.
GETTING THE RIGHT
DISTRIBUTION OF PLANTS ON
AN ACRE—BEST POPULATION?
NARROW ROWS? BEST SPACING
IN THE ROW?
Whether you plant in regular or narrow rows, and whether you drill
or hilldrop, the key question for almost every com grower is: “how
many plants per acre should I add next year?”
