I'm pondering now that my purple corn problem is either variety or seed size. I planted 2 varieties of Fielders Choice. One looks excellent. I planted 4 fields of it then went in to the next field and planted the headlands. That variety was a large seed. I have an AC ait planter with pretty much the same units as a White. I had to use the large cell discs. I was just about out when I got done with the headlands. The other variety was the SMALLEST seed corn that I've ever planted. I had to use the small discs. Well,I changed all but one end row and went to the other seed,then put what was left of the large seed in that end. I just checked it. The headlands in that field look super now and that end row looks just as good for as far as that seed went. The rest of the field is coming around a LITTLE and so is the other field that has that variety and seed size.It still looks poor enough to cause me to loose more sleep tonight without a doubt. Anybody know of any studys on seed size that might relate to this,or am I just gonna make DARNED sure that I don't ever plant that variety OR size again?
