As we discussed here last week, there have been an unprecedented number of calls and samples regarding seedcorn maggot damage, particularly in soybeans.
Harvest of cool-season perennial grasses and perennial legumes is beginning. Getting a standing forage crop that measures 75 percent moisture or more to a safe baling moisture of 18 to 20 percent moisture is “easier said than done”.
On this episode, they discuss last weekend’s heavy rains and the impact it might have on corn and soybeans, when you might start thinking about replant, and how the amount of growing degree days has been lacking to start the season.
Soybean planting progress was off to a good pace in April with 24% planted by the time we flipped the calendar to May.
Favorable weather and soil conditions for planting during the last two weeks of April allowed many growers to get their soybeans planted relatively early this year in many parts of Indiana.
Due to the recent cold wet weather, corn planted in April has either struggled to emerge or the corn that did emerge may have been injured by frost events or it looks bad because of the cold weather.
