The most profitable nitrogen rate for corn depends on planting date population and soil type. Early plantings April 28 to May 10 allow up to 200 lbs per acre for 22 24 thousand plants. If delayed May 15 20 reduce by 60 lbs.
Guidance on corn germination notes soil must reach 50 degrees at 2 inches or 55 degrees at 4 inches around morning or noon to ensure germination. Planting in warm zones improves seed survival more than planting in cold soil.
Certified soybean seed increases yield by about 3-5 bushels per acre and offers cleaner seed with lower disease risk. Pairing certified seed with adequate fertilizer and herbicide typically yields top soybean performance.
The April USA report indicates seven percent more beef cattle will be fattened in the United States leading to a larger supply of quality beef for consumers. Cattle are expected to be marketed at lighter weights boosting red meat sold over the counter, with most price increases tied to handling cutting and wrapping by merchandisers.
Farmers in Clark County enrolled in the ACP program must plan seedings for diverted acres. One option is a light oats seeding with a strong legume crop to improve soil fertility and cover.

Bagworms on evergreens are beginning to hatch from cocoons and will feed in May. Remove and burn visible larvae to control the infestation now.
The spring program for Johnson Grass Control now shortens the interval between application and planting. Labels advise allowing Johnson Grass to reach 8 to 12 inches, spraying 5 to 7 pounds of Dowpon per acre, waiting three days after spraying before plowing, and waiting at least five days after plowing before planting soybeans or corn. After a dry spell, wait five days after receiving rainfall to permit Dowpon to dissipate and protect germination.
No secondary nutrients calcium magnesium or sulfur identified in Illinois corn fields. Manganese copper boron and zinc are micronutrients present in corn with little chance of zinc deficiency in Illinois. Some farmers report suspected micronutrient issues as U of Illinois trials find rare cases while researchers survey corn and soybean fields statewide for soil type nutrient composition.
The USDA Cattle on Feed report for April 1 shows US farmers fattening about 11.419 million cattle, a notable year over year rise. The data suggests producers expect strong demand and favorable prices ahead.
An article extols artificials for crappie fishing led by the Sprite Johnson lure. A Wisconsin guide and grandson boat on Big Chetac Lake with drifting and trolling tactics yield two dozen or more crappies, outpacing live-bait anglers.
Reports from Leon Cooper Park Ranger indicate cattle on feed in the Corn Belt numbered 7,277,000 up 3 percent, while 13 Western States held 2,859,000 up 18 percent. Heifers and steers show mixed gains with April sales rising, and overall beef output may increase 2 to 3 percent despite higher cattle on feed.
