The corn seeding is not going well.

Its too muddy....


Do you mud corn in? Any experts know for sure?

Doesn't look right.

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.

Plant in the dust your bins will bust......... plant in the mud you'll have a dud.

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

Better late than never.

Give it three more days.

Can't believe how long spring has lasted.

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.

I believe it is late too......but all we want to do is graze it standing this winter.

Why corn as opposed to sudex foxtail millet or other late season forage?

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.

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.

they planted too early here, missed the rains. bunch of fields of 3-4 ft tall dried up corn plants.

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.

Silage, or grain Jim?

Chortle!

If you blinked, you missed the rain here.

5.8 inches in June. 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...

Calling it Canada thistle is racist!

Besides it is improperly named - it originates in from Europe and Asia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirsium_arvense

Call it creeping thistle.

If he didn't care that Jimmy cracked corn why did he write a song about it?

Jim, if you don't plant corn, what other choices do you have?

dont know what chemical you are planning on but Roundup really cleans out the canada thistle , so a roundup ready variety might be a good choice for you

If it will work with the chemicals you put down go for it.

The cattle should do good on the graze.

Whatever it makes has to be better than feeding hay.

If your ground is too wet when you plant, you'll get sidewall compaction in the seed trench. Corn roots won't be able to penetrate it and will grow along the seed trench. Tomahawk roots is what we call them around here. If it gets dry, corn really suffers because the roots are all at the surface, not down deeper in the moisture.

I'd wait if you can. Especially since you're planning to graze it.
