Our farm is 35 miles northeast of St.louis and April rainfall set a record of 10.84" for the month!!! I only know of two corn fields that have been planted in the area. More rain is in the forecast. Ryan

You are not alone....think less rain here but once soaked it don't matter if it's 2 or 10 more. Remember 2012? No rain.

It’s one of those years.
I can remember more than once, not finish corn planting until June 10th or so. The corn that did get planted early, languished for weeks with constant ‘wet roots’.
Traded the bags of seed corn in for shorter day varieties, 90-92 day. Come harvest time, that late planted corn yielded just as good if not a bit better that the early planted longer day varieties.
I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Ryan Renko, it would appear that your farm has just received 25% of it annual rainfall in the month of April? Annual average rainfall for your area is approximately 43.2” ?
Perhaps your area’s best 2025 corn yields may still reside inside their seed bags?
