Kevin Wood doesn't care if you call him narrow-minded. The Raymond, 111., farmer is looking for a way to eke every lastcorn bushel out of his land. When a 2008 twin-row corn plot showed an amazing 30-bu. yield bump, he wanted a closer look at the concept. His curiosity mirrors that of the Farm Journal Test Plots team, which first tested twin rows in 1999. The momentum for the practice of planting two rows 7" apart on 30" centers has built in the past few years as more corn contest yield winners use twin rows to take home honors.
