Results are presented by region within the state. For each location, data on seed treatment, final plant stand, lodging, moisture at harvest, and yield adjusted for moisture is given for each hybrid. Growing season (May-September) rainfall and irrigation applied at each location are shown on individual data tables. In this report, hybrids are ranked according to yield.
