Soil temperatures are still running below 50 degrees and while there is a little corn planted in a few places, most folks are waiting for slightly warmer weather to begin planting corn. Corn sits still below 50 degrees and germination and emergence will take several days at current soil temps. Tennessee March weather is finicky and even though we can make decent corn by planting in March, every year is going to be different. This year is just not allowing us to get a very early start. Fortunately, our weekend and next week’s forecast look decent to start getting seed in the ground where it is dry enough, and this will allow us to have some early planted corn in 2014.
