help Illinois Farmer
The modern farming of Clyde Hight, Moweaqua, Illinois,
plus DeKalb XL Breakihru Hybrids, has more than
doubled his average corn yield in five years! From a
91-bushel average, Hight stepped up populations and
fertility each year. Yields and profits jumped, too.
In 1965, Hight fertilized for a 200-bushei yield, at a
rate of 185-140-200, planted early, and went to 20-inch
rows at 27,000 to 30,000 plants per acre. He effectively
controlled weeds and insects chemically, and received
31" of rain during the growing season.
His first 388 acres, planted to short DeKalb varieties
XL-45 and XL-346, averaged 201.17 bu. of ff 2 Corn per
acre. Quite a record for Clyde Hight, and DeKalb XL
Single-Crosses and 3-Way Hybrids.
