Short corn, tire pressure, and nitrogen technologies are among the new products and practices in Beck’s Practical Farm Research (PFR) this year.
PFR Director Jim Schwartz tells Brownfield about the new short corn studies.
“There are some breeding programs really investing in developing short corn hybrids and the theory is a height clearance machine can get over it better, maybe it will be less prone to greensnap or root lodging, and then also if you live in the northern climates where residue can be an issue, it’s less residue to deal with,” he says.
