Characteristics and Corn and Soybean Bid Sheets.pdf

CORN

Desirable Hybrid characteristics

Yield- Yield consistency.

Early Season vigor – Strip till and no till seedbeds, in furrow pop-up fertilizer will be applied.

Plant health- Hybrids recommended for corn on corn acres must have above average GLS tolerance. Goss’s bacterial wilt ratings will also be used in selections.

Greensnap- All recommended hybrids should have above average to superior ratings for greensnap.

Ear shank integrity- Hybrids submitted for consideration should not have known weakness’s associated with ear shank strength which compromise ear attachment or dry matter accumulation of the ear.

Late Season Intactness – All hybrids should have excellent staygreen and harvest appearance. Frequently post harvest corn residues are used for grazing research projects. It is imperative that selected hybrids have superior harvest intactness.

SOYBEAN

All Soybean Varieties submitted for consideration should have the following characteristics:

- High yield potential

- Medium bush plant structure with good to excellent standability.

- Good to Excellent ratings for SDS

- SCN resistance

- Good to Excellent ratings for phytophthora

- Shattering resistance

- Pre inoculated & treated seed, both fungicide and insecticide.

Soils –

Primary soil type of the individual fields is a Crete silt loam with 0 to 1% slopes; this soil is moderately well drained. Several fields include a percentage of a Hastings silt loam variant.

Hastings silt loam areas tend to have 3 to 6% slopes and are well drained.

Most fields also have pockets of Butler and/or Fillmore silt loams. These soils are poor to very poorly drained. Individual field descriptions will note if there is a significant portion of poorly drained soils in the field.

For more detailed soil descriptions, the legal description and latitude-longitude for each field have been provided and fields may be viewed on the internet at:

http://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov

Nutrient management-

UNL recommendations are used for determining nutrient applications.

Individual field descriptions will indicate primary N source and the most recent soil test data on P, K, Mg, Ca, and Na. Soil pH, CEC, OM% is also provided.

Phosphorus is applied at maintenance levels as required. Most phosphorus is supplied by periodical applications of manure.

GMO’s-

Events not approved for export should not be bid.

Planter –

John Deere Max Emerge vacuum planter, 30” rows, equipped with ProMax 40 flat metering discs. Central commodity system (CCS).

Unless otherwise specified, most seedbeds are prepared with striptill unit.
