Corn, a gras- type plant is
more odd hardy The seed

pushing through the soil.
Rogers advises farmers to

before planting cotton and
corn, but to watch the calen

xSoil temperatures aren’t a
problem w hen the recom- i
mended period for soybean
planting comes. But soy
beans are highly sensitive to |
the photo period, or the I
length of night.
The photo period is the
critical consideration for
planting date of soybeans.
