2020 Corn Plot
Today we planted a corn plot using F2F numbers and Hoegemeyer numbers. 6 rows of each with 1/4 mile rows and grouped by maturity. Row spacing is 36" population is 25700. Plot is in SE South Dakota, 5 miles west of Yankton, SD on HWY 50. Picture is the lineup, I'll add the results this fall.

Here's another side by side test I did. This was the F2F conventional corn that I paid $105 a bag for against my favorite and most widely planted Hoegemeyer number which is also a conventional that I paid $173.02 a bag for. These tests were 12 rows of each across a half mile field. Also another big problem was standability of the F2F numbers was very poor compared to any of the Hoegemeyer in both plots across all numbers.
