Dryland yields ‘better than what was hoped’

At the time Aaron Johnson and I talked, dryland corn was coming out of the field in Nebraska. “Yields aren’t what we’ve seen the last couple of years,” Johnson, a sales representative for Mycogen Seeds, told Brownfield Ag News. He was upbeat, however, adding that the amount of non-irrigated corn being harvested was more than what growers allowed themselves to expect following the summer-long drought. Commonly reported yields ranged from 30 bushels on the low end to about 125 on better dryland corn. Corn that was watered yielded as much as 250 bushels to the acre.
