Southeast Colorado | I have trouble getting a grip on this concept. In our area (which doesn't even remotely resemble the corn belt) out irrigated corn always has to pollinate and fill in 100 degree temps. If you can keep the ground and crop wet you can grow really good crops. When you add our last year's 6" of rain to the 22" of irrigation water we supplemented during the corn growing season we yielded 242 bu corn. All of this during 100+ temps. I know the corn belt for the most part gets more natural moisture than this. Is it the consistency of our moisture or what that changes this factor? I guess what I'm really after is a good explanation as to why somebody is telling me that they have adequate moisture but the heat is killing the yield on their crop. Someone's got some splainin to do! | |
