CORN FAILURE
 

[:@]I planted a 1/2 ac. of a 70- day, round-up ready corn back in the end of June and there is not even one stalk as of today 8-25-05,due to the lack of rain. I also planted on 8-3-05, 1 ac. in clover from Agway, 1 Ac.ofBilogic Fallblend,& 1 ac. in rape, turnups from Agway. Not much growth.

I'm going to go back up state in about 3 weeks and was woundering what I could do with the corn plot since the ground was limed & fertilized. What would you do? Thanks

I would mix in some type of oats and winter wheat. both will be nice and green through all the cold months.

Good luck.

What state/province are you in -? End of June is too late for corn, almost anywhere.

Literally no corn grew? If that is right - then it could be a reall Ph problem, not just no rain.

Where I am - we had .4" or rain in May and 2-3" rain in June - and not much since - but our may-planted corn is 8 ft tall. It loves the heat - and 2"/month is enough. Lack of rain can hinder any plot - but corn usually does better than most, especially early on.

here in this part ofkansas, most corn is in the ground at the end of march or the first part of april.

I helped Sniper in planting the corn, we are located in Susq. Co. Penna. We have not had anysignificient rain since July from what we hear. We planted clover and rapeabout a month ago and it is just breaking thruthe earth. Everthing is dry as a bone. The rape is about 2 inched high,you have get on your knees to see the clover but it is coming up everywherethat we planted it. I think we did everything right we just picked the wrong summer to plant.
