During a Friday stop on the Boots on the Ground Tour, Matthew Pueppke was still planting corn on his Amenia, North Dakota farm. Relative maturities were adjusted. “We started with 95-day and that’s where we wanted to be,” said Pueppke. “Now, the highest we planted was 85-day and we’re going to be all 80-day going forward.” Pueppke has had Prevent Plant acres in the past and is doing everything possible to avoid going that route again. “That’s why we’re stretching the corn as late as we are so we can get some organic matter back on those acres that were PP.”
