PIONEER 324 
Among Adapted 
Hybrids 
IN 1940 YIELD TEST CON- 
DUCTED BY NORTH IOWA 
AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT 
ASSOCIATION 
Pioneer 324 was the highest yielding hybrid among 
adapted varieties in the 1940 Corn Yield Test conducted 
at Kanawha, Iowa, in Hancock County, by the North Iowa 
Agricultural Experiment Association. 
Forty-nine varieties were tested. Pioneer 324 yielded 
78.4 bushels per acre. It outyielded the average commer- 
cial hybrid by 7 bushels per acre . . . and had the same 
moisture content as the average commercial hybrid. 
The Association with the assistance of Dr. C. S. Reddy, 
Iowa State College Extension Plant Pathologist, conducts 
the yield test each year for the purpose of finding those 
hybrids best suited in yield and maturity to North Central 
Iowa.
