Corn Yields Hit
Record High
In Virginia

Virginia farmers produced the
highest yields of corn in history
in 1862. says Dr. II. l.. Dunton.
head Of the Virginia Polytech-
mic Institute agronomy depart
ment. Such yields are m or
profitable than when farmers
were producing 80 to IS bushels
per acre. he says.
Actually, a yield of So to 60
bushels per acre is not high to-
day. Good farmers know that
corn is not very profitable
crop at 60 bushels per acre.
Dunton says his department
has underway several expert
ments in cooperation with ag-
ricultural economists to fin d
what is the most profitable
yield of corn or different soil
types and varying conditions.
On good land, with plenty of
plant food, and other good man.
agement practices yields OF
over ITO bushels per acre have
been obtained. Dunton says, II
am not saying this is the most
profitable yield, but it does
show that good soil is capable
of producing rather h g h

Dunton feels that the yield Of
most all crops must Increase

to do this farmers will have to

Land once considered good corn
land may not be good corn land
today, because it can't produce
the high yields needed in to-
days agriculture.
Actually, a soil may produce
a higher yield of some other
crop than corn. For example,
some Of the red soils such as
Cecil in Southside Virginia are
perhaps capable Of producing
higher average yields of alfalfa
than corn.
