What you can do is select a corn hybrid that covers all the bases, no matter what mother nature throws at you. When it rains, Artesian corn hybrids can help maximize your yield. When it doesn t, Artesian helps you grow more corn by converting available water to grain more effectively than other hybrids. Take the unpredictability of weather out of your fields this season.
