Corn: Knee-High By Fourth of July?
2013-07-02 18:38:00| Corn & Soybean Digest
For generations, the standard measure for corn growth was knee-high by fourth of July, which meant that the corn plant should be able to produce a crop for that year. Of course, most farmers a couple of generations ago had much lower yield goals for their corn than the farmers of today. Today, waist-high or higher corn by July 4 is a more typical, and has resulted in some very good corn yields in most areas in recent years. It is difficult to get exceptional corn yields in the southern half of Minnesota if corn is only knee high or smaller on July 4. Focus on Ag read more

Wet Soils Affect Corn Roots and Nitrogen Uptake
2013-07-02 18:02:00| Corn & Soybean Digest
Source: University of Illinois When soils remain saturated for more than a day or two, the lack of oxygen causes nutrient uptake to slow quickly, and root tips start to die off. It helps that temperatures have not been above normal; cooler water carries more dissolved oxygen, and also slows growth and nutrient uptake. Also, plants during vegetative growth have much better ability to grow back damaged root systems once soils drain than do plants during or after pollination. read more
