The author, drawing on extensive research and interviews with farmers, explores the reasons behind California's relatively low corn acreage despite its potential for high yields and quality. The book examines factors such as labor constraints, competition from other crops, irrigation needs, and the prevalence of pests like corn smut and corn worms. It also discusses the practice of removing suckers, which is common in California due to the vigorous growth of suckers in the state's climate. The author highlights the advantages of corn in crop rotation systems, soil improvement, and weed control. They also explore the use of corn as feed for livestock and the potential for second-crop planting. Overall, this book provides valuable insights into the complexities of corn production in California and offers practical recommendations for growers. By addressing the challenges and opportunities unique to the state, the book aims to support and advance the cultivation of this important crop.
