so they'll plant 90 day corn instead of 120 day so they'll plant 90 day corn instead of 120 dayYeah the seed maturity re-adjustments are probably driving the seed salesmen/dealers crazy right now.
I gave way the the big farmers and went full-time OTR trucker in 01. In my farm years there were times i planted in conditions that were barely dry enough to keep from getting stuck. You planted shallower than normal. If the soil temp was warm enough, germination wasn’t a problem. But if it turned dry in a hurry the damp ground would crust and out came the rotary hoe. A little shower about 4 days after planting could help get the spikes to push on up through, and keep the hoe in the barnyard.
The huge planters and rubber tracked tractors out there today can get a LOT done when given just a couple of days a fair conditions.
I had some ground in river bottom flood plains. Planted around wet spots and came back days (even weeks later) if those spots dried up and planted more. Some years are good. Some not so good.
