A Look at an ARDC Corn Plot With Images and Data

Shown under the following link is an example of a half circle area under center pivot irrigation at the ARDC. The corn is being grown under controlled conditions and varying amounts of fertilizer. Each image examines a different feature of the field; soil type, topography, fertilizer application etc.
