It will tolerate some salt but not as much as barley. Soil texture is not Important since corn grows well on clay, loam, or sandy soils. Land recently plowed out of alfalfa or irrigated pasture is excellent. The effective growing season for corn varies considerably throughout the state. It may differ within a county or even on an individual farm. Soils warm up differently in the spring depending on the moisture, texture, exposure, air drainage, and even color. These conditions all affect maturity of corn and should be considered when you select a variety. The Experiment Station has tested many corn hybrids in areas throughout the state. The hybrids recommended are the best of those tested from the various seed companies. There is no noe best variety for all conditions. Some suggestions are: Funks G95A, KeyLong season stone 38, Kingscrost K3A, Portwalco 120. Medium season Kingscrost KY7 or KT8, Pfister 244 or 234, Portwalco 100 or 90, Utahybrld 680 or 544.
