Ive never seen a year when corn didnt get planted. I was out the other day finishing chiseling until 2am. My other ground going to corn will simply get hit with a field cultivator and planted. According to the forecast I should be way behind schedule, but the weather held a little, I plowed til it rained and I got done. Now Im right on schedule, it is wet though and I surely wont be planting for another 10 days or more but I stopped worrying about it years ago. The weather is out of my hands but for me a window of opportunity has always opened up and Ive never planted corn past May 12th. It really comes down to correct management. If I deep tilled all my acres for no reason like my neighbors I would be really worried. But I know in a couple weeks my brother will be running the field cultivator and I'll be pushing him out of the field with the planter and thats how it usually goes. My fert program as far as P & K is handled in fall in most cases so Im freed up to plow, plant, and spray. The biggest pinch I get in is sidedressing corn and trying to get hay done in between rains and wet fields. I often sidedress at night after baling is done.
