Wisconsin farmers are definitely making up for lost time!  The latest planting progress report showed 31% of the corn was in the ground as of Sunday, 5/10.  Cooper Humphries, district sales manager with Wyffels Hybrids says that growers don't want to make mistakes in a rush to catch up.

Humphries specifically notes sidewall compaction and press wheel pressure when it comes to planter settings.  Making sure those fine points are adjusted can make a big difference in emergence and overall root health for that plant.

Humphries also notes that they've just introduced a new variety, 3299, a 103-day smart stax pro. He's already got in some of their test plots you'll want to watch.
