Planting can be marked on the calendar as officially complete. The remainder of the soybeans mixed in inoculant were planted June 20. After scouting, the soybeans have germinated and are looking good. The corn planted June 5 is measuring at about 8 to 9 inches tall, which won’t make the knee-high recommendation by July 4. Although if the temperature keeps residing in the 80s, and with a little more sun, the corn might find that extra-needed nitrogen causing another growth spurt. Hopefully farmers aren’t too concerned about the rain washing their trace minerals or added fertilizers away.
