The author grew 82 plats of corn in central Illinois and recorded detailed data on each plat, including the variety of corn, the date of planting, the height of the stalks, the length and diameter of the ears, the size and weight of the kernels, and the yield of shelled corn. The author also conducted duplicate plats of each variety to assess the variability of the results. The results of these experiments provide valuable insights into the performance of different varieties of corn in central Illinois and can help farmers select the best varieties for their specific needs.
