Planting season is almost finished for Michigan’s farmers as 80 percent of the state’s corn and 80 percent of Michigan’s soybeans are in the ground according to the USDA.
The next stage is emergence and the growing season. However, the top story recently has been a lack of rain with more warm, dry weather in the forecast over the next ten days.
“Most all of us are dry—some of us are extremely dry,” says Dan Cable, Field Sales Representative with Specialty Hybrids. “This crop is off to a pretty good start, we just could use some rain.”
He credits the work that agronomists have done to develop new corn hybrids and soybean varieties that are more resilient to heat and drought stress—especially early in the growing season.”
