Corn School: Keys for planting in late, wet conditions

Crop insurance deadlines may be looming, but the rush to get corn seed in the ground when it's late in the planting window and soil conditions are wet can also cause problems, such as poor root development, later in the growing season. Sidewall compaction in the furrow is a common consequence of planting into wet soils, making it tough for corn to develop good root structure, explains Breanne Rey, market development agronomist with Pride Seeds in Manitoba. She joins RealAgriculture's Kelvin Heppner to discuss the wet and delayed planting scenario facing corn growers on the Eastern Prairies in this new Corn School episode. #corn #plant22 #planting #farming #cornschool #agronomy Find more episodes of the Corn School at: https://www.realagriculture.com/corn-...
