An extension corn specialist says farmers don’t have to wait any longer for Mother Nature to warm the soil.
Joe Lauer is with the University of Wisconsin. He tells Brownfield, “We’re no longer at the point where we need to worry about soil temperature. Once you hit April 20th, it’s go, go, go and the soil temperatures will come along.”
Lauer says his extension research team has been pushing up the planting date on some of their plots for many years.
