However, Peter Thomi son said historical data shows that late-planted crops can yield fairly well, depending on the weather for the rest of the summer. “Weather conditions in July and August are probably the most important yield-determining fac tors for com and soybeans,” Thomison said. As for soybeans, another Ohio State agronomist, Jim Beuerlein, said the crop still has time to pro duce yields above the state aver age of 40 bushels per acre. “Based on our data, beans planted in early June in 7-inch rows can produce in excess of 45 bushels per acre,” Beuerlein said. Beuerlein said that late-planted soybeans will do best if planted in 7- to 7.5-inch rows at seeding Top Pennsylvania DHIA Herds By County For May 19776 721 20113 lIIMfIO 23193 100 19901 750 14101 590 13937 557 1915 69 nun 21995 106 21069 767 20975 014 21400 756 21075 114 20176 771 21116 707 20760 696 20015 719 19926 713 19736 701 19466 704 19597 729 19069 634 19179 701 HASHIH6TOK 21996 22523 20466 19824 19488 19178 18316 18701 17859 18469 18921 17562 17498 17639 17457 WAYNE 22409 22858 21988 21383 3 9 3 5 3 8 3 9 870 796 832 864 rates of 200,000 to 225,000 seeds per acre. Farmers should then hope for rain in August and early September, which is critical per iod for pod-rill. Thomison said that late com plantings delay pollination until the most weather-stressed period of the summer, which is late July and early August This year’s com will need slightly cool-to-average temperatures and average to above-average moisture during that time for a good pollination, he said. Otherwise, plants stressed by hot and dry conditions will have either a poor kernel set or won’t complete grain fill to the fullest potential. “Com really likes temperatures that people are comfortable with,” Thomison said. A late, ample rainfall would help late-planted corn which won’t have time to develop deep root systems, Thomison explained. Shallow roots can’t tap deep moisture reserves during summer’s hot and dry stresses. HIGHLAID FARRS TON IOIOIIT COR ACRES CLBUFIILD FAINS ION!

However, what can’t be seen' below ground counts, too, Thomi son said. “We’ve got to accept that root systems this year are going to pre sent problems for us because they will be limited in size," Thomison said. Thomison used data of the four longest-delayed com crops during the past IS growing seasons to support his position that respect able com yields are still possible. These years were 1981, 1983, 1989 and 1995. Yields were no less than 73 percent of the previ ous five-year average in any of those years. In the year of the longest delay, 1989, com actually out-yielded the previous five-year average by 2 bushels per acre. That year, far mers had planted only 40 percent of their com by May 30. This year, as of June 2, Ohio fanners had planted 65 percent of their com, compared to 83 percent for this time last year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The five-year average is 96 percent From another perspective, an early planting does not ensure a high yield either, although a late planting can contribute signific antly to other problems during the growing season, Thomison said. In fact the lowest-yielding year in recent memory was in 1988 when com was planted earlier than usu al, he said Com yielded an aver age 85 bushels per acre because of the drought during the growing season. Although farmers are past the original com planting dates, those with livestock may likely continue planting through early June in order to have cheap feed for their animals, Thomison said. Farmers in parts of the northern half of Ohio can continue to plant mid- to short-season varieties through June 10, while southern farmers have until June IS. Beuerlein said many farmers have likely switched their com BUY. SELL.

He expects farmers will sow soybeans in “every bit” of unplanted com ground now. Indiana fanners are in the same boat as Ohio’s farmers, with rainy weather putting their com planting way behind. USDA reported that Indiana’s farmers had S 8 percent of their crop planted as of June 2, compared to 67 percent last year, and to 92 percent for the five-year average. The situation in the eastern Com Belt is a stark contrast to the national picture. U.S. farmers have 86 percent of their corn planted, compared to 78 percent for this time last year, and to 91 percent for the five-year average. As for soybean plantings, Ohio’s farmers had planted 24 percent of their intended acreage by June 2, compared to 52 percent for this time last year and to the five-year average of 84 percent. Nationally, 45 percent of the crop is planted compared to a 63 per cent five-year average. AC 80001 b diesel forklift, $2BOO OBO; 3xB electric platform lift, 20' high, $l9OO. 717/733-0575.
