Planting date guidance for corn or soybeans in Illinois
Illinois growers weigh corn and soybean planting dates as 42 percent of corn and 2 percent of soybeans were in by April 24. University of Illinois experts show peak corn yield around April 17 with minimal difference from late April, while delaying into May sharply reduces yields. Soybeans peak in mid-April with losses growing through May and June, suggesting starting with corn due to better early emergence, then planting soybeans once fields warm.
