Depends. I had a couple farms planted later in May 2012 that were still alive when we got some hurricane rains pushed up from the south about Iowa State Fair time, they yielded WAAAAY better than the early April planted corn that was already long dead and black layered. Timing is everything if you don't have very forgiving soils and you are right on the ragged edge of running completely out of moisture when it's 100 degrees. |
