Does Seed Corn Prefer a Hot or Cold Shower? Apr 20, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to Keeping It Independent. A podcast brought to you by Wyffels Hybrids. Today's episode is hosted by Wyffels Agronomy Managers Ryan Gentle and Eric Wilson.

We’re in that phase of the year in the Corn Belt where we have some people who have put in 7 hard days of planting, while others are still waiting for the last of the snow to melt.

It’s also that time of year in the Midwest where you can have 80 degree highs one week followed by freezing cold the next. On this episode we’re going to talk about some questions we’ve been getting this spring, and these are common questions we get every spring as we start the planting season.
