Today should winds us up for corn planting except for some spots that may have to be replanted due to being under water. I would say less than 10 acres for us total in some low spots in our fields. We have started planting beans and will move forward with that just as soon as possible. May 11th is very early for us to get this going for us as we are concerned with seed quality of the production acres this year. this has been a very unusual spring here in Central Kentucky as we have gone from 80 degree days in April with very little rain to a deluge of rain where we had about 12 inches in 10 days. That stopped all planting for us. Hopefully we can get our test plot planted this week, I'm anxious to walk the plot and look at how the new varieties emerge compared to some of the varieties that we have had for awhile. It really gets interesting after grain fill and you can see how they react to stress and heat. some central corn belt varieties just don't cut it down here with those combinations of heat and stress. Hope everyone gets their corn planted with great stands and vigor and can get soybeans in the ground also.
Sprayed wheat on Monday with Caramba (fungicide) and Warrior II (insecticide) to see how they will work to help with wheat diseases and germination as the wheat will be for seed. If you have any questions or comments please post or send me an email.
