South central Indiana | Things are not going as planned and I am not planted. I am getting very different advice locally on whether short season corn and beans would mature for a mid to late September harvest. That is about 90-100 days away. One farmer said its way too late for a ~90 day corn or 2.0-2.5 MG soybean to yield well. He said the low MG beans will want to reproduce as soon as they come out of the ground causing them to be very short with low yield. Another local farmer said short season corn or beans would be great to plant this late. Which is it?
My goal this year was to drill deep-rooting cover crops no later than early October to try to help my water infiltration problems. I have areas of ponding and significant compaction on quite a few parts of the farm. | |
