Yeah but if we had missed the rain we would have gone today. As it stands with the forecast going forward I'd say +2 weeks is significantly more likely than anything sooner.
One of the larger farmers around us (NC Iowa) was planting last week- I think my dad said he had 300 acres planted or something like that before the rain started
Usually a company will give you 100% replant if you buy 100% of your seed from them. Or you get 50% replant if you plant seed from more then one company.
I get free replant from brevant and 25/bag from dekalb, but I rarely plant soybeans and corn generally doesn’t have the growing point out of the ground when it freezes.
The insurance date is for replant. Your regular crop insurance coverage is in effect even if you plant before the date. It will be Monday at the earliest for us if we miss the rain tomorrow. The replant date doesn’t mean anything to me. Ground conditions & forecast is what determines when we start.
Put that back! You might need it this fall.
Talked to dealer today, Pioneer will provide soybean seed free if it is seed treated. You are just out time and fuel. Maybe that is why seed prices are so high? Over half done with corn, had a half inch of rain today.
