The consequences of flooding, ponding, and saturated soils on young corn depend heavily on the duration of the stress and temperatures.

The following map, based on GDD50, is provided to assist in timely scouting of emerged cornfields for black cutworm damage.
To facilitate speedy planting between rain showers many growers are skipping starter fertilizer. What might be the consequences?
Soybean planting progress (or the lack there of) for Indiana and much of the Midwest is one of the slowest on record. Indiana soybeans normally reach 50% planted by May 20th, but we are only at 6% by the same period.
Desperate times calls for desperate measures. As delayed planting conditions persist and the calendar approaches June, we can’t anticipate all likely miscues that will play out in the next few weeks.
Armyworm moth captures have varied throughout the state, with some being quite impressive this spring (see “Armyworm Pheromone Trap Report”).
Armyworm Pheromone Trap Report – 2019
The number of 30-, 40-, and 60-ft wide (or larger) field crop planters across the U.S. Midwest is greater today than, say, twenty years ago. Certainly, individual farmers can plant more acres of corn and soybean per day with today’s large field equipment than they could twenty years ago.
Being able to predict when a field of corn will reach particular leaf stages can be useful for scheduling post-emergence applications of certain herbicides and sidedress N fertilizer, especially if your farming operation is so large that regular field inspections are difficult to work into your busy schedule.
We keep getting this question, because as we write this, it is storming yet again in many locations in the Midwest. Rain, rain, and more rain has pushed back timely planting everywhere.
