It stopped raining just long enough so we could get our corn planted last week (5/7/11). Pictures show the corn planter in action at the Corn Maze field - (please see www.hhfmaze.com for info on maze). For the planting, we use Pioneer seed corn. The seeds are dumped into the planter bin along with liquid pop-up fertilizer, which helps germination, as well as another dry fertilizer. All of this is very expensive, but helps improve yield and gets the crop off to a great start. Already the corn is popping through the ground!
