As promised, Peter “Wheat Pete” Johnson answers the very difficult question of when to replace corn hybrids in this episode of Words of Wheat Pete.
If the weather is not favorable for growers, especially in eastern Ontario, farmers may have to move to shorter-season hybrids as early as next week. But don’t worry. This week’s Word isn’t just about corn. Topics include road safety, how to kill cover crops, and dealing with barley yellow dwarf virus.
