Listen "Cloudy with a Chance of Planting Stalls"
Episode Synopsis
Just when you think it's time to plant, Mother Nature has other ideas. Corn planting got off to a strong start across much of the Corn Belt in mid-April, but recent rains have slowed down progress. This week's weather was expected to be favorable, but spotty showers could delay planting into next week. The Wyffels agronomy team discusses the 2025 Planting Progress Report, weather trends, the Growing Degree Unit (GDU) calculator, and the state of Midwest corn planting as we approach May.Links discussed in this episode:Wyffels Hybrids - Planting Progress ReportWyffels Hybrids - Growing Degree Unit (GDU) calculatorNational Water Prediction ServiceBetween the Rows® - Choosing the Right Planting RateBetween the Rows® - Optimize PlantabilityWyffels Hybrids - Our Corn ProductsWe want to hear from you.
