Just wondering if anyone has ever grown Pioneer P0210 field corn? Just checking the good and bad with it.

What is the going rate for seed corn where you are? MY nephew told me that he was quoted $200 a bag for seed corn, but he hasn't gotten any other quotes yet.

I had a friend plant that stuff and he says never again. It yielded fine but fell down in the wind. I quit raising pioneer years ago because it was falling down from greensnap or around harvest like last year we had big winds and some fellows lost a lot. A fellow 4 miles from me v raked after the combine ran and got a eadible beans pickup head and picked up 58 bushels per acre. It may yield high but beware of the risk from wind.

Last year everybody around here had issues with their corn falling over. We had one 7 acre field I could only chop it going from west to east. Was all knocked over from 3 major wind events out of the north.

The rest was much better and I could go round n round with it. It was our first time using our new to us nh 892 with an 880 head. We figure what it saved us over using the fox like years past above and beyond what we paid for the machine.

Along with a few other varieties, my brother planted some Pioneer seed corn last year. Now last year we had some severe drought, but the Pioneer averaged 8 bu/acre. Yes, that is eight. Right next to it in the same field he had two other brands and they averaged about 60. Luckily for him, the crop adjuster parked in truck right where the Pioneer was planted and set his field average using the Pioneer seed. While there was about 15 minutes of time last year where the Pioneer did him some good, and maybe that variety would have done okay in an average or wet year, he won't be planting any more of it this year.
