Delayed Corn & Soybean Planting Decisions
Purdue agricultural economists James Mintert and Michael Langemeier join Purdue agronomists, Bob Nielsen and Shaun Casteel to discuss late planting alternatives for Eastern Corn Belt corn and soybean farming operations. Included is a discussion of crop insurance alternatives as well as corn and soybean agronomic management considerations.
**The audio on the video references June 30 as the end of the late planting period for corn in Indiana, the corrected date is actually June 25. Dates and calculations on the slides are correct.
