Here is a recent update from photos that I just shot today. The first photo will show corn in the silk stage. You will also notice that this corn is about a foot taller than it was just a week ago. Six weeks ago, I wasn't sure that this stand of corn would make it.
The second photo is of a Pioneer Seed Test Plot. This plot was planted the last week of June. On the 17th of July I passed up a photo opportunity as I felt that the corn was stunted as it was only about 12" tall. It is amazing what a 3 weeks of good growing weather can do. This hybrid must be super and/or they must have the best fertilizer in the world. By the way, these fence posts are 4 foot tall.
The third photo is of a stand that I shot three weeks ago. This is the best stand that I have seen in the area. It is now in the dough stage. This farmer used Southern States Brand seed corn.
By the way, you can click on any picture and get a larger view.
