Martinsville, Ohio | I don't question it so much, I am on the same page as Ken.
March 18-23, April 9-12 and May 18-21 were maximum yield days here for corn or soybeans in the acres I walk and check on. There may have been 3 nearly ideal days in that bunch, the rest you couldn't or shouldn't have been planting here do to what happened weather wise just before or soon after.
I admit your system will increase yield probably any planting day but for most of us, I think planting date is truly critical. In the last 10 years here if you could plant when it was tacky wet and get them sprouted before a major rain or temp event, your crop excelled.
April 17 stands pretty high in my notes but yes it varies a week or two by year. None of my high yield soybeans were planted after May 5 here, maybe a profitably yield but not the highest ones.
My best crops come closest to flowering on the summer solstice at this location, about June 21 yet Keith has hit 100 bu planting that day. Go figure.
