NE / NC INDIANA | Could we experience a ‘failed crop’ year? What would be the ramifications of such an event? I hope we don’t find out. The pictures I see and reading that I’ve done today have me a little more than concerned. Unless you have backyarditis, you should be full aware now that there seems to be small pockets and small regions that are blessed with some good looking crops. Unfortunately, our county’s biggest contributing areas have very few of these ‘sweet spots’. I was hopeful for a 150bpa corn crop on 200-210aph ground. I planted all 100 & 99 day hybrid corn when I normally plant 113-108. I planted these ultra short hybrids from June 3rd-June 8th in marginal conditions at best. Stands are just ok and I had to take PP on some of my acres. It’s time to spray and sidedress, it will all have to wait as we now have standing water which certainly thin the stands further and will ruin some areas. We have had 3 days in the last 7 that temps didn’t exceed the 60s for highs and one day in the 50s! We are all behind on GGDs and slipping further behind today again. It will take a miraculous miracle from God to get my crop mature. 150bpa is NOT realistic. I truly wish now I’d have taken PP on everything. 30+% corn that has low test weight and bad yields are practically unavoidable. This year will go down in the history books for our country.
