Description

Is picking the right seed varieties an art or a science? That is what we are going to dig into today with our guest from Central Minnesota, Mr. Andrew Kieke. When it comes to choosing the right seed varieties for corn, there are several factors that must be considered to ensure a successful harvest. The first is to identify the specific growing conditions of each field, including soil type, weather patterns, and pest pressures. This information will help narrow down the seed options. Next consider the necessary desired traits such as yield potential, disease resistance, and tolerance to environmental stresses. Additionally, it's important to work with knowledgeable seed reps to make informed decisions about which seed varieties to plant. By taking these factors into account, you can increase yields and profitability. So if you’re ready to learn more, let’s get started!
