Seed corn seedbed caution from Benton Co Farm Bureau
In Vinton and Hardin counties Iowa on December 19, officials warn farmers who skipped seed corn planting in September and October risk losses. A survey of 10,515 ears after the October freeze found only 35 percent viable for seed, with 65 percent completely dead. Early-picked seed fared better but still required individual ear tests to ensure quality. The Farm Bureau plans seed testing stations and urges all farmers to test seed ears to safeguard next year’s crop profits.
