the crop, but we just need to miss some rainfall events and have some dry, sunny weather,” he said. Heavy rains, such as those experi-


enced across the state the first week- end of April, paused any kind of row-crop planting, but they also can challenge emerging and newly emerged corn. “When you have adverse conditions


as plants emerge from the soil, such as saturated soils, substantial rainfall and


cool temperatures, that often creates variable seedling emergence and plant growth disparity through the season,” Larson said. “Our MSU research shows corn is very responsive to plant stand uniformity, and fields yield better when both plant growth and spacing are uni- form.” Corn acres are down this year nation-


wide. USDA estimates that Mississippi growers will plant about 530,000 acres, down from 750,000 acres last year. Market price is responsible for this de- crease, with cotton and soybeans pick-


ing up the lost corn acreage in the state. Brian Williams, Extension agricul-


tural economist, said corn in Greenville in early April was selling for about $3.57 a bushel, and corn futures were trading for $3.63 a bushel. “Prices are much lower than they


were a few years ago,” Williams said. “For comparison, Greenville corn was selling for $3.66 a bushel last year at this time, $3.99 per bushel two years ago and $5.16 a bushel at this time in 2014.” Corn prices are not as strong when


compared with cotton and soybeans, leading to expectations for fewer corn acres and more cotton and soybean acres in the state and nation. “The biggest driver is large corn


stocks, both in the U.S. and globally,” Williams said. “We had record produc- tion last year, and even the relatively strong demand has not been able to keep up with supply.”
