Subject: What if?


Central Kansas
If the Corn could have been planted on time for the major corn states (instead of late May, early June) would all of you have been looking at a much better crop now even though it has turned off hot and dry for most of you?

Here in my area of Kansas, Corn was planted mid April to early May. If the varieties pollination time frame was just right, a fair crop will be harvested. If it hit at the wrong time, even with irrigation, the plant grew real well but very little grain. I feel fortunate that I will have 70 to maybe 120 bushel corn dryland to harvest when my neighbors in Eastern Kansas (traditionally Corn producing area) will struggle to see that yield from what I've read of there posts.

Might add that South of me, they have nothing! I'm at the intersection of I70 and I35. 90 miles North of Wichita.
