Monster crop of Nescio forage maize!




Nescio is a class 5 variety that has been on the list for a long time, since 2001 and is such a stable variety that it is used as a control variety.One of it's characteristics is to produce large cobs with big grain, making it a good grain variety if situations allow it to go that far.This crop was harvested on the 29th October near Sticker, St Austell. Contractor was surprised too, really made his machine grunt! Estimated yield was well over 20 ton/ac, every line and a third of the way back was a full trailer load!








Knife is 4.5 inches, unfortunately the cob is pointing towards me when I took it, never-the-less, it was a good 9 inches in length.
