Marion Calmer, through the non-profit Calmer Agronomic Research Center, has been involved in the research and promotion of narrow row corn since the early 1990’s – planting corn in 12-inch rows as early as 1994.  His experience demonstrates that equidistant spacing between plants improves light interception and yield potential while a denser canopy reduces erosion and weed control costs.

Calmer Corn Heads specializes in manufacturing corn heads for narrow row corn and looks forward to meeting producer’s growing needs for futuristic corn heads. For more information, visit www.calmercornheads.com
