Wisconsin Corn Hybrid Trials

Rationale: A one bushel increase by Wisconsin corn farmers increases farm income $8 to $16 million dollars.

Objective: To provide unbiased performance comparisons of hybrid seed corn available in Wisconsin.

• Results are a “Consumer Report” for commercial corn hybrids

• Trials evaluate grain, silage, and systems including organic, transgenic and refugia
