There are a lot of corn acres going back to beans in the Eastern corn belt. They have very little planted in Ohio and Eastern Indiana. Even with that being the case. I would really think long and hard about planting corn this late in MN. If we continue to be cooler and wet the rest of the summer. It very well could be another early fall. In 1984 we planted late here in North Eastern Iowa. I finished on May 28. On Sept. 10 th we had a freeze, 22 degrees. That corn was 35% moisture. It never dried anymore. I let one field stand until the next spring and it still was 30%. I seem to remember you not having any grain drying ability. If you plant late corn you better have a backup plan on how to use it wet. I could make silage out of it and feed it. Some guys bag it as high moisture corn and feed it. I would not do it with out those options.
Also did you not just have a frost warning this last week???? I know the twin cities did. I would not get greedy trying for the big corn lottery. Plant the normal beans and still make some money.
As far as the seed you have that can"t be taken back. If you store it in a cool dry place it will be fine next year. I usually have several bags I store over. I just put them in the basement and cover them with a tarp. I sent a germ check on some here several years ago. It only lost 2% from the original test.

The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
