2010 Spring - CONDUCIVE TO EARLY PLANTINGS and GOOD STAND ESTABLISHMENT



Uniform stands of corn can be found popping up throughout SW Ontario.It takes roughly 150-175 CHU, depending on the hybrid,seedbed conditions and planting depth, for corn to emerge.
This field shot above was taken Tuesday May 4 of a field just west of Granton Ontario.It was planted April 19th.

The shot above was taken near Dresden Ontario.It was planted on Friday April 23.
The photo of the field above was taken near Springford Ontario.It was planted on Tuesday April 20. No matter where you drive in SW Ontario strong looking stands of corn like those shown above can be found.Though its a long way to the finish line a lot of the Southwestern Ontario corn crop has gotten off to an excellent start.It certainly points the way to a potentially heavier and drier corn crop for the vast majority of SW Ontario producers to harvest.
