Going into next year, farmers may want to prepare for possible drought conditions. Dekalb Asgrow Technical Agronomist Grant Mehring believes the easiest way to do that is through your seed choice. “There is a definite trend toward a more droughthy hybrid or variety and I think that’s a good plan.” 2023 is setting up to be a big corn year. There are several reasons for that. “Number one, we’re coming off an incredible corn harvest even with the challenge of not having much rain in the second half of last year,” said Mehring. “Number two, the futures board makes it look pretty profitable to grow corn and thirdly, there were enough prevented plant acres in North Dakota and Minnesota which tend to go to corn and, maybe, wheat.”
