the ultimate test

Summerland FFA members watch as a sample is taken from a corn hybrid picked on the FFA test plot, located at Napier Farms, north of the school. Last spring, hybrids from Pioneer, Channel, NC+, Golden Harvest, Brevant, and DeKalb were planted. A test plot event was held last month. Pioneer P1170AM finished first, with an average of 327.1 bushels per acre. Pioneer P1278Q ended second, producing 326.7 bushels per acre, while the 12-48DGVT2PRO seed from NC+ was third, averaging 322.2 bushels per acre.
