South Central MN | This year I pulled the pin on corn planting May 31'st, with the overly wet corn and lack of propane available probably wasn't a bad idea. However having a cooler than normal summer did show what the earlier corns that we normally plant can do, so guessing if I had to plant into the 2nd week of June I'd be pulling out some even earlier stuff. The corn I mention was 94-96 day corns. The varieties I planted behave very similar and were hard to tell apart, but obviously some in that range wouldn't perform near as well. I already planned on staying on the early side of corn for next year, just because of a lot of unknowns with the weather.
I wonder what the earliest maturity corn is that will do well, Legend seeds goes down to a 72 day RM corn, I know one called Canamaize exists as well and the conventional version is a 65 day RM. Now if you could find a large enough seed supply some OP flint corn types will go even earlier than that but won't yield much either. | |
