A Golden Harvest agronomist says producers shouldn’t be too eager to start planting, especially with the recent rainfall.
John Flynn tells Brownfield patience pays off. “When we get into planting in some of those saturated soils, that can be actually be pretty detrimental to a given hybrid,” Flynn says. “Some corn varieties can tolerate the wet feet some cannot. It’s very important that we monitor that situation.”
Flynn says Mother Nature helped producers in Nebraska lessen the impact of the drought.
