Spring corn planting across Northwest Missouri varied considerably with the ability of growers to plant into wet soils. So what is the impact of delayed planting and different planting dates across the region?
A tool called U2U Decision Support Tool for Corn GDD has been designed on the web so growers can compare current conditions to long term historical records so one can project trends through the end of the growing season.
You select the geographical area, planting date, maturity of corn and then project the current year’s development with that of historical weather information. Using this tool, one can run any number of scenarios to answer questions that are specific to the growers needs.
This tool was developed by nine Midwest universities and funded by USDA.
