Corn Planting Timing and Weed Control in Clark County
Clark County farming notes show corn yields unchanged for May 4 to May 27 planting dates, with a marked drop if planting shifts to June 3 or later. Early or late May weather can favor timing, but forecasts are uncertain. Sandy bottom land may accept earlier dates. Weed control trends favor pre emergent chemicals such as Atrazine Randox Randox-T and 2 4 D ester for corn, with Eptam for Johnsongrass. Soybeans use Amiben Randox Alanap and Sodium PCP.
