Planting Date Matters
Utilize practices like planting early with the correct seeding rate, at the correct planting depth and into the correct conditions to get your seed off to a good start. Multi-year PFR data shows that planting early pays in most years. Planting early gives the crop more opportunity to capture sunlight and allows for more carbohydrates to be produced and potentially stored for use during grain fill.

Based on 25 years of multi-location data, planting within the optimum window can have a significant impact on yield potential:
- March 16–31: 96%
- April 1–15: 102%
- April 16–30: 107%
- May 1–15: 105%
- May 16–31: 101%
- June 1–15: 88%
- June 16–30: 81%
What We Recommend
- Planting is the most important pass of the year. Plant early and plant deep enough to ensure consistent moisture to synchronize emergence.
