No help here, my corn comes in a mason jar.

Jim, I've mudded corn in, if it stopes raining just after you plant, it's a train wreck.

I can’t speak for corn planting anywhere other than here, but I’ve not had much luck planting into wet soil.

Even as wet as our spring was, around here, the corn is already chest high. I'd think it was getting a little late to plant corn. It would be a little late for soybeans, even.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

Why corn as opposed to sudex foxtail millet or other late season forage?
If you love someone set them free If they come back no one else liked them Set them free again

I needed something that had no plant back restrictions with a Canada Thistle chemical I have been using.
Millet or Sorghum sudan grass might have worked.....but they were off label.
Actually, the corn was a similar price as the millet and SS grass.

Here in Meade County, KY along Ohio River, we have corn next to the house that is over our head now and starting to tassel out. Second crop soybeans are about ankle high now.

Corn makes cowz yummy.
I've had grass cows before, they're different. One time a rancher friend did me three steaks, one grass, one feedlot corn, one grazed on corn then processed. Kind of like a happy middle flavor, but amazing side by side from the same breed, same herd, same year, just different finishes.

Actually, the corn was a similar price as the millet and SS grass. When does your growing season normally end? The problem I'd see is that the corn would most likely not mature before a killing frost hi it. Here in my part of Kentucky, corn planted after the first of June usually won't make much. There are varieties of corn that will mature several weeks earlier than others, but I'd think corn in your part of the world should have been planted a month or so ago.

Corn is good for liquor and cattle. Otherwise it just pollutes gasoline, raises your blood sugar and decorates your turds.

Shoulder high and lush here. Rain coming through 3-4 afternoons a week, 80's and sunny most days. Best garden we've had in years. Froze 6, gallon bags of broccoli/cauliflower last night, freezing and canning squash/zucchini like crazy, potatoes dying ready to be dug, cukes ready to be pickled and 20 heads of cabbage coming off to freeze and make kraut. Be eating good this winter. Going to can a bunch of potatoes, haven't done it in a few years.

Nary a drop since, and only a shower in May... Dry again. Pastures looked pitiful when driving up to Shiner today. Need rain bad, but I'm afraid it's gonna get much worse before it gets better. 104* here Sunday...
