🌽 Putting corn hybrids to the test! 🌽

Corn harvest is in full swing throughout the area, and we recently harvested a non-irrigated corn variety trial! These trials give us an opportunity to evaluate how different hybrids perform under local growing conditions.

A huge thank you to our cooperator for being a part of this demonstration program and helping make this trial a success. We truly appreciate your partnership and support!

📊 Results for the varieties should be available soon, so stay tuned!
