SE Indiana
Corn is available in a number of maturities from 80 days +/- to 120 day+/-. These are based on the number of growing degree days from planting till maturity. Growing degree days are measured using the minimum and maximum daily temperatures above 55 degrees and below 86 degrees. The exact formula escapes me but I’m sure it’s available on line. So a late planted 120day hybrid should let you harvest late.
