A corn specialist says there were several lessons re-learned in 2019 that will help growers prepare for 2020.
Purdue University’s Bob
Nielsen says one of those lessons is that late planting by itself doesn’t guarantee
terrible yields. He says in Indiana, for example, trend yield was only down 5
percent.
“We had one or two locations where we actually had as good or better yields than we’ve ever had and we were joking among ourselves at harvest asking why we don’t harvest in June every year,” he says.
