Tips for planting this year’s crop

Pat Lynch

Are you ready to plant the 2009 crop?

It is a bit hard to believe but there will be seed in the ground in two weeks if 2009 is similar to other years.

Do you have your crop plan finished, or do you sort of make it as you plant?

It is easier to change a plan than make one. You should have a list of each hybrid or variety by field and/or farm. Once seed starts coming in mark on the bag lots where each will be planted. Too often hybrids get planted on the wrong fields. And even more often growers are not sure what was planted where.
