This yield projection chart is a variation of a chart originally released from the University of Illinois. It more accurately estimates yield potential of the hybrids of today, as it relates to planting date and population. Use this chart when considering when to start planting, if you should replant when less than ideal stands are established and when it’s too late to plant corn.Since the data in Line A was generated from hybrids with determinate ear styles, use it when considering stands for hybrids with population requirements from Group A as indicated in our Planting Rate Guide in this book. Use line B for hybrids requiring populations from Group B which are also included in our Planting Rate Guide. Use Line C for hybrids requiring populations from Group C.

How to use this table:1. Enter the line that most closely represents the date your field was first planted. Read across the column until you are on the line closest to the actual plant population remaining. Example: if you planted 4A30AM1™* or 3309GT3 on April 10 and 14,500 plants per acre remain, expect yield of approximately 70% of full yield potential. (Use Line A)2. Enter the line representing date closest to replanting. Read opposite your population goal. Example: May 19 planting, 32,000 plant population, 91% of potential yield for 4A30AM1™*.3. Calculate net yield by subtracting present yield potential from yield potential if replanted.4. Determine if any yield advantage can be gained by replanting. Also, subtract the added cost of replanting (labor, fuel, chemicals) and consider potential risks involved with replanting of a field. Keep in mind with Burrus/Power Plus®/Hoblit/Hughes 100% Free Replant Agreement, you will have no additional seed cost.

How to determine number of plants per acreMeasure 1/1000 of an acre (see chart above) in several locations across a field. Count the plants, average, then multiply by 1000.

Measuring harvest lossEar Corn – Every large ear (.7 lbs.) per 1/100 acre equals about

one bushel loss per acre. – Every 4 (.5 lbs.) ears per 1/100 acre equals about

3 bushels loss per acre.Shelled Corn – Two kernels per square foot equal one bushel loss per acre.

Be sure to make several counts, then average.

How to figure number of bushels per acre.Harvest field length rows. Weigh the grain harvested, moisture test, then divide the total pounds harvested by the appropriate weight per bushel to convert it to number 2 corn using the moisture conversion chart. This gives you number 2 bushels harvested.

Next, measure the row length harvested (in chains, 66’), multiply it by the number of rows harvested. Then divide it by the factor (in chains) in the table below for your appropriate row width. This determines acreage harvested. To obtain bushels per acre, divide the number 2 bushels by the acreage harvested.

For 2013 planting, we used QR codes on all of our E-ZLoad corn boxes. These will provide a useful tool for thegrower during the busy time of planting season. Each code

will be designed with all the pertinent details a grower will need to knowabout that particular hybrid.

QR codes are the black and white “puzzle like” squares you are starting to seein many forms of advertising. QR stands for quick response. These small black andwhite squares are used to take a piece of information from a transitory media andput it into your smartphone. Other phones allow for an easy download of a scanningapp like Optiscan. This QR code takes you to our website for all updated information.

Soybeans Acres to Plant

Accurate stand counts are necessary to make soybean replant decisions.Other contributing factors include yield potential of the existing stand, plantingdate and the cost of replanting.

Many times replanting decisions are based on a quick survey thatunderestimates the actual stand count. The population charts show the twomethods used to calculate stand counts. One chart shows the plants per foot indifferent row widths, while the other utilizes a square yard or various diametercircles for calculating stand counts.

To estimate stand densities, take at least ten random counts across the fieldto arrive at an average. Do not restrict the counts to the best or the worstappearing areas. The hula hoop method can be used to rapidly count plants,especially in narrow rows. Throw or roll the hoop and allow it to fall at random,and then count the number of plants inside the circle.

Use the charts to help with soybean replant decisions.

Maximize Soybean Yields

32

LibertyLink® soybeans

• Select the variety best suited to your region, soil type, and row spacing

• Choose a variety with good disease and SCN resistance

• Utilize seed treatment

• Plant at recommended seeding rates

• Plant early (last of April to early May)

• Manage weeds early

• Scout for insects and disease, treat if warranted

• Maintain good fertility levels

LibertyLink® soybeans are definitely gaining traction in the marketplace. AtBurrus, we offer three varieties for 2013 planting. The two varieties are designedto tackle different soil types. We offer the Hoblit 372LL which is a 3.7 maturitysoybean. We also offer the Hoblit 342LL and 423LL, 3.1 and 4.2 maturityrespectively. These two maturity ranges should work in many areas of ourmarketplace where weed resistant issues are now becoming commonplace.

LibertyLink® soybeans with Liberty® herbicide enable growers to effectivelyavoid or manage weed resistance as the only nonselective alternative toglyphosate tolerant systems. Liberty® herbicide with the LibertyLink trait offersseveral advantages over glyphostae tolerant systems. Advantages are:

• Kills weeds in days vs. weeks.• Nonselective, post-emergence control of broadleaf and grass weeds,

including weeds resistant to glyphosate and multiple herbicide classes.• If environmental conditions don’t allow a residual to be activated,

LibertyLink® and Liberty® herbicide offer the most reliable solution for weedresistance management.

• The only nonselective alternative to glyphosate for over the top use.• Preserve the utility of glyphosate-tolerant technology with the rotation of

chemical families.Growers who are considering implementation of a Liberty®/LibertyLink®

program in their operation might best be suited by having their own sprayer.Timeliness of application is the key to a Liberty® program. The LibertyLink®

program is considered a great management practice for growers to help avoid

weed resistance. Growers should strongly consider a pre-emergence program andfocus on timely applications when weeds are no more than 4" tall.

The standard use rate of Liberty® is 22 oz. per acre. In areas with heavyweed pressure such as Roundup® resistant waterhemp, 29 oz. of Ignite isrecommended. Liberty® offers a unique mode of action. Liberty® controls weedsthat have developed resistance to glyphosate and/or other herbicide classes,including waterhemp, ragweed, and marestail. Liberty® can be tank mixed withmost other crop protection products for very quick weed kill.

Using the Liberty® herbicide as part of your management plan for corn is agreat option too. Liberty® is a contact killer. This means thorough coverage ofweeds is crucial for success. Flat fan tips at 40-60 PSI with 15-20 gallons of waterper acre are recommended. This means thorough spray coverage with mediumsized droplets (300 microns) is crucial for success. Also 3 lbs. of AMS(ammonium sulfate) per acre are required. To aid burndown and residual activity,Atrazine can be added to the tank mix.

Before spraying non-Roundup corn with Liberty®, be sure to thoroughly cleanthe spray tank, hoses, and nozzles if the sprayer previously contained anyglyphosate products. The cleaning process should include washing down tankside walls with a commercial tank cleaner and triple rinsing. Remember, it takesonly a few parts per million of glyphosate to significantly injure non-RoundupReady corn or non-Roundup Ready soybeans.

Pay special attention to:• Sprayer surfaces or components where build-up might occur because of

repeated coats of spray followed by drying.• Irregular surfaces in the tank caused by baffles, plumbing fixtures, agitation

hardware, etc.• Top side of the spray tank and around baffles.• Sprayer sumps and pumps.

Weed control and herbicide management will always play a part in theeconomic success of any operation. Good luck in your efforts to control thosetroublesome weeds on your farm. The LibertyLink® system provides a usefultool in that ongoing fight.
