Photo: Block 'O' Hybrid Cornfield in West Columbus

Ohio State's football team is the best in the nation, but The Ohio State University rolls a lot deeper than that.

The cornfield pictured above is just south of I-70 on "Field 5," which is located on Ohio State's Agricultural Center in London, Ohio.

According to FarmersHotLine.com, the cornfield was planted with "two hybrids of different maturity dates and tassel colors." The picture above, taken on July 23rd, doesn't yet show the plants' tassels.

The project's purpose is to showcase new technology that allows farmers to gain maximum yields by planting of two different hybrids in the same field.
