"To risk letting people see your real self and to discover that they love you...this is one of the greatest joys in life." -Nancy "Honeytree" Henigbaum Bob "The Lone Chicken" Welch MODERATOR 5/26/12 - 1:49 PM "AREA FARMERS WISHING FOR RAIN" Jim Maurer The Courier (Findlay, OH) www.thecourier.com 5/26/12 Rain on Memorial Day weekend is not appreciated by those who grill out, want to visit a pool, or attend a baseball or softball game. But farmers in northwestern Ohio would be thrilled if a shower or two would provide some moisture this weekend. The sooner the better, since perfect planting conditions resulted in most corn and a majority of the soybeans being planted a month early. Usually, planting begins about Mother's Day and continues into early June. This year, some fields were planted the first week of April, and by early to mid-May most of the planting was done. Statewide, about 94 percent of the corn has been planted, compared to 10 percent last year and 60 percent for a five-year average. And 74 percent of soybeans have been planted, compared to 2 percent last year and 37 percent for the five-year average, according to the weekly crop report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with the state Agriculture Department. About 73 percent of corn has emerged, compared to 2 percent last year and 39 percent for the five-year average. About 37 percent of soybeans have emerged, compared to 1 percent last year and 14 percent for the five-year average. The winter wheat crop, planted last fall, is also maturing and will be harvested early, too. "Last year and this year is a 180-degree difference," said Steve Oman, who farms in the southern portion of Hancock County. Last year, planting did not finish until the first week of June, he said, while this year he and his son, Jason, finished planting about May 14. They were "side-dressing" or applying nitrogen to the corn this week. In 2011, excessive rains fell in the spring, and there were only five dry days during April and May, Steve Oman said. But after last year's soggy spring, timely rains came and crops flourished into the fall, when rains delayed the harvest but did not diminish the yields. Corn yields averaged about 170 bushels per acre, a record amount for Hancock County, and soybeans averaged about 48 bushels per acre, a record-tying amount. This spring is the opposite of last year, with very dry conditions. Only about three-quarters of an inch of rain has fallen in the Findlay area this month. Farmers like to see about one-half inch to one inch of rain weekly, to maintain adequate moisture for crops. High temperatures, like those forecast for this weekend, are not good for the corn crop, either. Temperatures of about 80 are more suitable. The condition of the corn is "decent," Oman said, and while the dryness hurts, the subsoil moisture has allowed the roots to grow down into the soil. Hancock County farmers plant about 80,000 acres of corn annually. So far, the year has the "earmark of 1988," Oman warned, when a drought stretched through the summer and yields were some of the lowest on record. While there is concern about lack of rain this spring, there is subsoil moisture, said Ed Lentz, extension educator for agriculture and natural resources for The Ohio State University Extension Service in Hancock County. In 1988, Lentz said, a dry fall and winter left the subsoil dry in the spring. This spring there was a lot of extra field work to do because tillage was not done during the wet fall, Oman said. The wet conditions left fields rough. But dry conditions this spring made it "one of the easier" planting seasons, he said. Overall, the year has "good prospects," Oman said, because of the early start. The corn crop "looks promising," Lentz said. If the plant has good root depth, rather than spreading sideways, corn can withstand the summer heat, he said. In the northern portion of Hancock County, farmer Neil Clark was checking conditions in his soybean fields this week. He planted corn April 17 and soybeans several weeks later. He said his soybeans look "excellent." Hancock County farmers plant about 130,000 acres of soybeans annually. Clark said there was "good" moisture three or four inches into the ground in fields he has checked, but "it won't last" without some rain. The long-range weather forecast does not indicate a lot of moisture for the next few months, he said. There are still some soybeans to plant in the region, and crop growth is "on hold" with the lack of rain, Lentz said. But he said the early-planted beans "don't look too bad" since there was soil moisture to "get them out of the ground." The dry conditions in some areas of northwestern Ohio have caused the ground to be "crusted," so some corn was replanted, Lentz said. The area's third major crop is winter wheat, but last fall's wet weather meant less wheat was planted. Lentz estimates about one-third less wheat acres were planted, and about one-third of the acres planted were lost because of excessive fall moisture. Hancock County farmers usually plant about 44,000 acres of soft red winter wheat in the fall for harvest in early summer. Last year, the average yield was 55 bushels per acre. Most of the acres not planted in wheat last fall, or wheat acres that suffered damage, will be planted in corn, Lentz said. The wheat crop has little disease because of the dry conditions and is good quality, Lentz said. Heat, not dryness, causes the plant problems because it matures too fast and shortens the grain fill, he said. The wheat harvest, usually done around July 4, will be earlier this year, about June 20, he said. That may prompt more farmers to plant soybeans in the same fields as soon as the wheat harvest is done. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ --- Bob "The Lone Chicken" Welch Still corny after all these years!
