Corn Flowering date: Late flowering hybrids have
tended to struggle in plots due to late planting dates
and heat and moisture stress that occurred the second half of August as these hybrids were flowering.

Multiple Locations: Try to seek out plots that were
replicated in the surrounding area. This will show
some of the variables and give you a solid picture of
how products performed in your area.
Multiple Years: It will be important to seek out 2012
yield data as well before decisions are made for next
year. Products that shined in 2012 may not look
nearly as good in 2013 based on planting and flowering date. Evaluate both years closely before making
final product decisions for 2014.

Planting date: In many instances plots were planted
much later than normal without making changes to
the maturity of the products. Earlier corn and soybean products have done extremely well compared
to standard of full season products.

The 2013 rollercoaster growing season continues with
harvest well underway. September and early October
brought much needed mild weather and above average
temperatures. Entering the third week of August GDU
accumulation was tracking 140 GDUs under the 10 year
average. At that point, there was serious concern if the
corn crop would be able to reach black layer prior to a
major frost. As a result of the mild fall, a majority of fields
have reached black layer and SE Minnesota has yet to
have a killing frost. Yield results have been mixed based
on geography and weather. We cannot forget about the
spring we had when we evaluate yield data for 2013.
Planting dates ranged from late April to early July in
some areas; planting conditions during that timeframe
were challenging at best.

The more hybrid test plot replications, the greater the chance the
results are an accurate representation of performance.
