NC Iowa | mn2 - 4/25/2017 05:28 local centrol man was telling customers not to plant, didn't like that so we called pioneer rep he said he was telling farmers not to plant, so we didn't. had only 30 acres that was ready.
Of course they are telling you not to plant, they don't want to have any issues with the seed, and have to deal with getting extra replant seed if it came down to it. Both my dealers told me, "don't plant it all".
Its a simple risk reward scenario planting now. Early might be 30 bushel better, but may have to replant. Waiting may mean a week, it may mean June 1. Just never know, time will tell. I think its crazy not to plant some, if the ground was fit. My motto is, if you don't know, do half. |
