Abstract
Today, 90 million acres are planted in corn in the U.S., producing an average of roughly 15 billion bushels per year (https://bit.ly/3SE9T8F). Corn yields have increased tremendously since the 30 bu/ac days of the 1930s when Reid’s Yellow Dent was just facing competition from the first batches of hybrid corn. This article looks at the development and improvement of hybrid corn over the years and provides tips for selecting next season’s hybrids.
