Ada farmers: No need to read this; it's a corn planting primer for the rest of us

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, April 21, 2016

Corn needs to be planted during suitable conditions and not by a calendar date.  For northwestern Ohio, the probability for optimal yields occurs when corn is planted between April 25 and May 10.  

After this date, yields generally decline because of a shorter growing season.  Corn planted before this time period will often have weakened or poor stands because of extended cool, wet conditions.

This optimal planting date window allows plants to take advantage of longer periods of daylight, pollinate earlier, and mature before a killing frost.
