Next season, it’s important for you to get the most bushels per acre 
that your farm can produce. Regardless of what seed corn you plant, 
you will get the best results only if you give your seed all the help you 
can. Here are a few tried and proven steps that pay off: 
1. Use proven moisture and soil conservation and rotation practices —this year 
and every year. Provide legumes and grasses. Maintain nitrogen content. 
Start a long range fertility program now, if you haven’t already. 
2. This year, be sure your seed bed is thoroughly prepared, with trash well 
covered and pulverized (get rid of borers in old stalks). Manure or other 
organic matter and added fertilizer are important. Take time to do the job 
right. Give your seed the chance to do its best. 
3. Plant at the regular time; watch the weeds and bugs and cultivate or spray 
to meet conditions. Harvest as early as possible. 
4. Plant good seed only. You can not afford to throw away extra bushels per 
acre to save a few cents per acre in seed cost.
