Planting Corn Today

[RBnSC]

Headed to farm this morning to get started planting corn. We are behind everyone else in our area but had work to do.We only plant about 20 acres so it should not take more than a week if things go as usual[only say that cause I am always wrong].

I planted last year on April 16th, we won't be even close to that this year. It just keeps on raining and raining. I haven't seen a single field planted so far. 4 inches on Monday

I'm in ky just south of louisville

Good luck with your planting

I finished planting corn here in east central NE on wed. Dry here, we could use a good soaker rain!

what do you plant with?

 

[Nancy Howell]

Very dry here in Tx. Could you send some of that rain our way?

 

[cuttman]

Nancy would love to send some of this rain your way,(SE Indiana)getting annoying here too,but I probably will be wishing I had someway of storing this for later this summer.

What is the soil temp there It's about 40 degrees here, way to cold for anything to germ.

 

[David G]

Too cold in Iowa to start yet, maybe back half of next week if it doesn't rain too much between then and now.

I saw corn planted in central Iowa Tuesday afternoon. Ground temp is 54 degrees.

 

[David G]

We are now up to 55 from 53, could start if it does not rain too much. It would be nice to have the soil a couple of degrees warmer.
