The two factors influencing this are weather and plant spacing. If you join the Maize Growers Association there is lots of info on the web site. You really do want a single cob for best yieldFlowering taking place here at the minute. Weather couldn't be any worse unfortunately. Wet and windy.
As RobAdD mentioned this is our first year growing maize so learning as we go. Getting multiple cobs developing on the plants as per the picture. What has caused this to occur? It's noticeable on both varieties we have. Our agronomist suggested a couple of weeks ago that we'd normally want no more than 2. What are other opinions on this?

You’ve invested in concrete for your clamp?
No, one of them has always been concrete. So i try and get about 5-6k ton in it.You’ve invested in concrete for your clamp?

Anyone done any work on inclusion rate of sunflower/beans/peas and its effect on protein levels?Update on sunflowers in the maize, they look great! Just chucked a hand full in each hopper when drilling the maize on 12tg may, no post emerge spray. Bees in every flower nearly and hopefully will be bird seed later on? Wanting to have a go with vining beans/peas somehow next year to fix n/ up protein content in silage. Maize overall is good and in places tallest crop we’ve ever had. @Great In Grass supplied sunflower seed
