If you want to grow more corn, you won’t need special soil. Gear up and discover practical ways to score higher yields.
Plant Early
In every region, there is a right time to plant a corn crop. To eliminate the guesswork, you must test the soil.
There are several ways to conduct a test. You could get a grid sample, a whole field sample, or a management zone sample.
Rotate the Soil
Proper soil rotation will increase your yields. You may grow less corn if you plant it consecutively in the same location each season.
Variety is the key, so you should alternate your crops. For example, you could plant corn one year and soybeans the following year.
Check the Drainage
If your drainage system is sound, it will help your crops survive. It should deliver enough water throughout the day without drowning the crops.
Growing Strategies
Use these strategies to jump-start your success.
Give the Crops Plenty of Sunshine
Corn will grow faster in direct sunlight. Never plant a corn crop close to tall objects that can block sunlight.
Support the Corn While It Grows
Strong wind gusts can knock over your corn. To protect the tallest crops, build a dirt mount at the base of each stalk.
