I walked my test strips looking for general big ears. Looking for varieties that with large girth - 18 kernels around. I'm looking for varieties that responded to the foliar products I sprayed at V4-V5. These are a few ears I pulled.

I was also interested in seeing if the Hefty 5003 had reached black layer at 2370 GDU's. It hasn't. It's milk line is about half way down the kernel.

Pioneer 1366 - 780 kernels!

Beck's 6274 - 558 kernels

Beck's 6365 - avg = 731!

Hefty H5212 - 630 kernels

Hefty 5003 - by GDU's should be at maturity. Isn't.
