Interest in growing corn in organic cropping systems has been on the rise in recent years. In 2007, we continued evaluations of corn hybrids marketed for organic producers at the Hirzel Sustainable Systems site, a certified organic farm located near Bowling Green in Wood county and on certified organic land at OARDC Badger Farm, near Apple Creek in Wayne county. We added a certified organic site near Troy in 2007. The plots were planted in a randomized complete block design with four replications. No fertilizers or pesticides were applied to the Bowling Green or Apple Creek sites. Four tons of poultry litter was applied to the Troy site. Weed control was provided by mechanical cultivation.
