There’s some concern about the slow seed development for corn that’s already planted due to the recent cooler conditions.  Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Crops Specialist, Joel DeJong says some fields have been planted for three weeks.

DeJong says farmers are still within the window of opportunity for ideal crop development with maximum yields, but he says we do need some warmer weather. The weekly crop condition report out Monday showed farmers statewide have planted 20 percent of their intended corn crop.
