IOWA

At the heart of the Corn Belt, Iowa focuses primarily on the production of corn and soybeans, laying claim to the title of the highest corn-producing state in the United States. Production issues have changed in recent years with new plant pathogens, changes in insect pressure, and fluctuating environmental conditions. A hot, dry growing season can follow a wet, cold year, demonstrating the need for variable, adaptable seed choices.

Select hybrids with drought tolerance as well as the ability to yield with lower plant populations. Plant hybrid packages since we never know for sure how the environment will vary. Plant varying maturity of products, and select hybrids with higher heat tolerance.

Look for hybrids with the Agrisure Viptera® trait for excellent control of Corn Earworm and Black Cutworm.
