610 3722 hours 10 m 8 pm worked early growth of oats barley and hay is remarkably good the warm spell two weeks ago got things started and growth continues even through more backward weather of last week many corn growers deliberately delayed planting to get the best soil and early growing conditions the risk cf planting too early is overdone i think its true that there have been a few april failures but just a few and often the problem has been planting too deep rather than too early still from our research may 10th to 20th is ideal for planting with our climate here in york its worth noting that our corn growers here have pretty well given up on narrow row widths of around 18 inches ex perience has been that almost equal yields can be obtained by increasing the number of plants up to 23 or 23 thousand per acre with a big advantage that harvesting equipment works better in rows of 30 inches or more atrazine is still the basic weapon for weeds in corn but a lot of sutan is going
