Compensating For Late Planting
This year, farmers across the Cotton Belt have been tormented and frustrated by the weather, which pushed many of them into late-planting scenarios.
In May, we asked our readers if they were caught in this situation, what strategy would most help them compensate for late planting. More than one-third (39 percent) say "all of the above" practices would be helpful, while 33 percent opt for planting early or mid-maturing varieties.
A respectable 17 percent will push the cotton plant via plant growth regulators, eight percent say scouting for insects moving into young cotton would be most helpful, and three percent will avoid conventional varieties because of late-season grasses.
