Subject: RE: How about good CORN ON CORN hybrids as long as we're on the subject



Elkhart, Illinois
DKC 61-66 and DKC 63-42 both were real good for us. These fields were 10th and 8th year corn respectively and both were fall NH3 strip till. Another note: we use row starter on everything, plus any CRW version will get 3.4 ounces Capture LFR in furrow....NO confidence in Poncho... or his buddy, Lefty.
Also, had3 Golden Harvest numbers perform very very well but the numbers slip my mind.
Someone said it best... in continuous corn, one of the most critical steps is tracking and rotating genetics. Also ask questions about diplodia susceptibility. You may have to go a step beyond the salesman to get a straight answer.
If you are at rootworm risk, you might consider rotating insecticides on refuge corn.
There are many considerations when going continuous corn but it has been successful for us for many years.
