Show Utah may rank high in yield of corn Utah should rank at the top in producing high yields of corn for grain or silage. There are efficient farmers, good soil, adequate irrigation water, and an excellent climate. Sadly, however, average yields in Utah are far below other states which have not been blessed with such favorable growing conditions. During the last five years, Utah has produced an average o sixty-two bushels of grain per corn-acre, and 15.25 tons of silage per acre all under irrigation. California, on the other hand produced an average of 92 bushels of grain per corn-acre and 19 tons of silage per acre. Indiana, In-diana, a non-irrigated state, had a 92 bushel average last year, and ranked first in the nation. |
