Kyle Stull For Agri-View

A week ago we took a much-needed vacation to northern Minnesota for the first time in three years. We returned to fields that had progressed quite a bit while we were gone. I found the first corn in dent August 19 from mostly early May- and April-planted corn. A lot of June-planted corn was just starting or finishing pollination this week. So we're still looking at quite a spread in maturity for this fall.
