Grower Panel: “300 Bushel Corn Club” Three-hundred bushel corn is not an easy feat to accomplish in the corn belt let alone in New York. It takes a lot of knowledge of your land, good agronomics, some experimentation, good soils and the right weather from Mother Nature. In New York, there are three farms that can consistently hit that 300 goal and are multiple winners of the NYS corn contest and have all placed in the National Corn Contest.
Henry Everman, Henry Everman Farms, Dansville, (Livingston County)
Matt Kludt, Kludt Brothers Farm, Kendall, (Orleans County)
Jay Swede, Gary Swede Farms LLC, Pavilion, (Wyoming County)
Come listen to the members of the “300 Bushel Corn Club” and learn how they do it and what they feel are the most important steps in preparing a field to eclipse 300 bushels.
