Early corn planting urged for higher yields in Washington County
Washington County Extension Director Jim Frier says planting corn the week of April 25, if soil and weather cooperate, can yield 10 to 20 percent more. By April 19 about 80 percent of plowing was done, seven days ahead of normal and nearly three weeks ahead of last year. Early planting requires careful management: use full season varieties, plant slightly shallower, plant 20 percent more seed, apply starter fertilizer, raise nitrogen, use herbicides, and treat for corn borers to maximize growth before moisture stress in July and August. Starting early benefits most large acreages, though rain risk rises May 10 to 24.

Dekalb XL varieties emphasize shorter stronger stalks and clean grain shells. With firmer cobs the plant reduces fodder loss in the combine, enabling more grain to be stored and potentially greater profits. Dekalb is a registered brand name with XL numbers as designations.
