Drought Effects on 2013 Corn Planting: Plant Population and Maturity Group
2013-02-13 22:17:00| Corn & Soybean Digest
Source: Farmgate blog You are paying $4 for 1,000 kernels of seed corn, and with great precision, bury them, kernel by kernel, bag after bag after bag. The late Paul Harvey would define that as optimism. But if you are burying that seed in dry soil, should you plant at a higher or lower population than usual? And what about maturity; should it be earlier or later than normal? Your seed corn bill will have at least five digits, and six digits for many larger farms, and by spending that much money, your decision has to reflect more science than optimism. read more

Drought to Last Through April; Southwest May Improve
2013-02-08 23:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Large storms brought some short-term relief to drought-afflicted areas over the past week, and allowed the footprint of the national drought to shrink slightly. However, while similar rainstorms are forecast to continue during the coming weeks, there is only slight potential for drought recovery for the rest of the season.
