Multi-hybrid planting holds promise
The SciMax/WinField variable planting project plants two hybrids at different population ranges in a field.
The next big innovation in precision farming could be multi-hybrid planting—placing specific hybrids at optimum zones in a field.
SciMax Solutions, a subdivision of Iowa-based MaxYield Cooperative, has teamed up with WinField this spring to plant more than 1,000 acres of corn using a specially-designed multi-hybrid planter. We discussed the project with Peter Bixel, SciMax Solutions team leader.
