Week dampened: Corn growers see soggy fields
By Mike Surbrugg

Area corn growers last week could only look at soggy fields and hope for better days ahead.
Most want to get their corn planted by the middle on this month and hope planted fields still have viable seed after heavy rains.
If weather prevents farmers from getting all of their corn planted, some may turn to more soybeans or grain sorghum.
Planting soybeans is recommended no earlier than the middle of May, with best results in the Tri-State Area often seen from planting in late May into the middle or even late June.
Bill Wiebold, University of Missouri soybean specialist, said planting seed for any crop in ideal conditions is vital to avoid having to replant in a year when quality seed supply is short.
Extension agents and specialists in Southwest Missouri and Southeast Kansas remind farmers it is illegal to plant any patented seed saved from a previous year. Such seed cannot be given or sold to others. It must be purchased only from seed dealers.
Pat Miller, agronomist at Nevada, said seed dealers also are being advised to not deliver any patented seed, such as Roundup Ready varieties, until the buyer signs a contract.
There also are restrictions for MaxQ fescue seed, which is patented.
