Corn Production in Arkansas
Corn Research Verification
Overview
The Corn and Grain Sorghum Research Verification Program (CGSRVP)
is an interdisciplinary effort between growers, county Extension agents,
Extension specialists, and researchers. The CGSRVP is an on-farm demonstration
of all the research-based recommendations required to grow corn and grain
sorghum profitably in Arkansas. The specific objectives of the program are:
1. To verify research-based recommendations for
profitable corn and grain sorghum production in all corn and grain
sorghum producing areas of Arkansas.
2. To develop a database for economic analysis of
all aspects of corn and grain sorghum production.
3. To demonstrate that consistently high yields
of corn and grain sorghum can be produced economically with the use
of available technology and inputs.
4. To identify specific problems and
opportunities in Arkansas corn and grain sorghum production for
further investigation.
5. To promote timely implementation of cultural
and management practices among corn and grain sorghum growers.
6. To provide training and assistance to county
agents with limited expertise in corn and grain sorghum production.
Each CGSRVP field and cooperator is selected prior to
planting. Cooperators agreed to pay production expenses, provide crop expense
data for economic analysis and to implement the recommended production practices
in a timely manner from seedbed preparation to harvest.
