EPA Proposed RVO reduction RVO = Renewable Volumetric Obligations

It is the amount of ethanol blend for RFS This could MAJORLY affect 2014 corn price. DTN has good coverage potential impact.

ACTION NEEDED This proposal will be finalized in 60 days. Ag must submit more comments than the oil

industry. We have to bring our A-Game. www.kycorn.org for help in submitting comments

and links to form letters.

New Corn Seeding RatesSoil Productivity Target Seeds/A Comments

Low 22,000 to 26,000 Soils that are shallow, sloping, or non-tiled clays. Expected yields are less than 140 bu/acre on average.

Medium 24,000 to 30,000 Many soils in Kentucky with less than 12% slope and depth about 3 feet.

High (non-irrigated)

28,000 to 34,000 Deeper soils (river bottoms) with about 6 feet of rooting depth and excellent water-holding capacity.

High (irrigated)

32,000 to 42,000 The lower range is for limited water supply. The upper range is for fields at very low risk for water stress. Stalk strength is extremely important at the upper range. Consult with seed representatives on stalk strength and hybrids suited to the very high populations.
