Washington County faces immature corn this year due to late planting and a cold spring. County extension director Jim Frier notes the issue while ISU expert Harvey Hinning advises silage to preserve feed value. Optimal silage moisture is 65 percent or less, achievable by late September or early October in much of the county. Even after frost, silage remains feasible, with 50 days after 75 percent silked as a harvest cue. Corn planted by May 10 typically reaches 75 percent silked by August 1, while plantings after May 15 may not reach 75 percent silked until after August 10.
