Subject: Dusting in corn?


Western OK
We are extremely dry here, I think d3 drought zone. Not sure how much longer the wheat can hang on. We are coming up on crunch time for corn planting. For some reason our insurance deadline is around the 10th-15th of April, and there is no rain chances in sight. We almost hit 100 degrees yesterday. There is moisture deeper, just 3-4 inches below the surface. I could try to hit moisture on some fields by going deep, but with all of our terraces I think it would be a spotty stand at best.

I have only raised corn a few years and have never had a problem hitting moisture to get a stand. I'm thinking about laying it in the dry and just seeing what happens instead of trying to hit moisture and getting a crappy stand at first, then if it rains getting the rest up. Probably won't put any fertilizer out until I get a stand either.

What are yalls thoughts? Any tips?
