Pioneer Field Agronomist Kevin Sinner says maturity will play an important role in determining what makes it into the bin this fall. “It does seem like, especially in these areas that are really, really drought-stricken and have not got any of the rain this summer, the earlier the maturity, the better.” Sinner says 85-day corn appears to be at the upper end of what could successfully mature in the driest areas. Later-maturity corn faced more stress during pollination, resulting in smaller ears. Early soybeans are also looking better than later varieties. Watch the interview.
