摘要

Driving towards the western sky, an hour outside Fargo is wheat country, barley country and sunflower country. But increasingly, the golden glow of a small grain landscape is giving way to the green tint of corn as more and more producers are shiftingacres out of wheat and into corn-soybean rotations. "When wheat scab hit in 1993, it was time to look for something else," says Jeff Enger, who farms 6,000 acres with his brother and sons in Barnes County. In 1993, the Engers grew just 300 acres of corn. "Today, we grow 2,200 acres," Jeff says. Adds neighbor Kent Sortland, "We grew 400 acres of corn this year and will double that next year. "These producers are getting up to 150 bu./acre of corn. That may not be exciting to Iowa and Illinois producers,they acknowledge, but pretty darn impressive in a state that until recently had a hard time getting yields above 60 bu./acre. More than doubling yields in less than a decade illustrates the importance of new hybrids that have allowed growers in the state to overcome historical corn handicaps.
