The dire economic consequences of this issue has the attention of all... -
The vast majority of producers understand the need importance of sulfur for optimal corn yields, and most are targeting a ratio of 10-12:1 for N:S. This means that for every 10-12 lb ac of N applied to their corn crop they will aim to have 1 lb ac of sulfur – so an N rate of 180 lb ac would have 15-20 lb ac of sulfur.
This seems to be the...

Corn seed sizing has always been an important part of the seed ordering process.
For generations we have felt that a medium flat would be the right choice for finger pickup planters, or possibly a round size would be better to meter on a vacuum unit.
Other considerations included the fact that the germination rate is... -
Characteristics of a good grazing hybrid:

Select hybrids that produce high forage yields and high digestibility.
Choose hybrids with known standability.
