Stop 11 Clay County, IA

Our next stop was near Spencer, IA. The field we visited was a highly productive black sand farm. The corn was V8-V9. The plant pop was 32,680. We met with Matt Mayer the grower who was gracious enough to give us the local scoop. The area is sitting pretty right now with enough rain to last a couple weeks. It was moist but not muddy. The corn would be rated as a 10 for condition. Oh and yes lunch was good too.
