What we need here in the north is a corn variety that you plant in the fall and it spouts in the spring when the ground is warm enough to support the plant. Now, before you ridicule my idea, let me offer some reasoning for my idea.
Last June I was riding past a field of soybeans when I noticed that there was a lot of corn growing along with the beans and I remembered when I planted soybeans that I also had a nice crop of corn in with the beans. This so called "volunteer corn" had sprouted from corn that was lost during the fall combining operation.
If this wild corn can withstand the effects of frost and freezing weather and then spring to life when the ground warms in the spring then I ask you why can't these seed corn companies develop a variety that can be fall planted for the next years crop?
One of the big problems of growing grain corn here is that often the ground does not get dry or warm enough to run a planter over the field until mid-June or later. If they would develop a fall planting hybrid that we could plant right behind the combine we could avoid all of the frustrations of spring planting. Just thinking foolishly in my old age. Happy farming.
