Here Comes the Heat!
Charlie Haas (DSM, Region 6 – Southern)
Unfortunately, I am not talking about basketball. While much of the country has been out of the field because of too much rain, we are still stuck in the middle of a drought and the 100 degree days are back. Yesterday was our first 100 degree day and tomorrow it is projected to hit 104 with wind. For some reading this it may be hard to comprehend, but the dryland corn is really starting to stress. Overall, our corn went in very well and is looking good, but moisture is a problem. With the cool spring we were able to save some water on the irrigation but they are starting to run hard now. When I look at corn this year, it is hard to believe that we started tasseling on the 12th of June last year. We are several weeks behind last year and it may be July before wheat harvest starts.
For all of those Producers Hybrids customers in central Kansas, thank you so much for your business and support. Stay cool and let it rain.
