Dairyland Seed announces new corn hybrids for the 2018 growing season.

Consider hybrid maturity, yield and quality, and agronomic traits when selecting corn hybrids for silage.

Yield monitor data can help growers make decisions on water management practices, nitrogen and other nutrients, diseases and more, says Michigan State University Extension.

Demonstration plots can be useful in providing information on certain hybrid traits that are usually not reported in state corn performance summaries, says Ohio State University Extension.

Choosing the right corn hybrid to plant for silage can be tricky.

As you travel over your field with your herbicide this season, you may be considering adding a fungicide to that pass. If so, there are a few things to think about.

Hybrid selection is one of the most important management decisions a corn grower makes each year. It’s a decision that warrants a careful comparison of performance data. It should not be made in haste or based on limited data. Planting a marginal hybrid, or one not suitable for a particular production environment, imposes a ceiling on the yield potential of a field before it has been planted. In the Ohio Corn Performance Test (OCPT) it is not unusual for hybrid entries of similar maturity to differ in yield by 80 bu/A, or more, depending on test site.
