A farm in Walnut, Illinois has been enjoying productive yields, considering some less-than-ideal field conditions. Wet holes and sandhills have been major concerns for the farm, but working with Prairie Hybrids Non-GMO Seed Corn (Hybrid 6878) has beaten the odds. The yield monitor was going over 300 in some areas, 319 in other areas, with an average of 220 across the scale, including end rows. The field is not done yet, but the ongoing results are impressive.
