Seller: Alana Martin/Allison Jackson (POAs) FARM Down on the TO REPLANT OR NOT REPLANT, THAT IS THE QUESTION By Hans Schmitz Extension Educator Gibson County Purdue Extension Gibson County has re- ceived more than three inches of rain in the previ- ous week, get- ting us more than halfway to our average monthly total in the course of seven days. In some cases, because of the near daily rainfall, some thoughts on live- stock-powered planters or hand-seeding have oc- curred. Because of Thurs- day's storm, where more than two inches fell at one observer's station in East Gibson, standing water in planted fields has become a problem. For corn that has emerged, saturated soils do not allow roots to func- tion properly, and stunted roots or plant growth inhi- bition will occur after 48 consecutive hours of sat- urated soil conditions. A f- ter 48 hours, the soil oxy- gen level is too low for the roots. For corn plants com- pletely underwater, the clock starts ticking down from approximately four days. Plant death is all but guaranteed for submersion longer than this amount of time. In the meantime, the potential for seedling blight fungi to infect and kill plants increases. Per- haps one or more condi- tions occurred in areas of fields last week that will require scouting to assess the remaining stand. When market corn pric- es were high, replanting was a no-brainer in are- as with a poor stand. Now that seed prices are high and market prices are the exact, complete and total opposite of high, breaking out a classic Bob Nielsen publication has some val- ue. "Estimating Yield and Dollar Returns from Corn Replanting" was last re- vised in 2003, but remains a highly relevant publica- tion for today's corn farm- er. The publica- tion contains a breakdown of all the informa- tion needed to estimate the po- tential value of replanting, keep- ing in mind that the accuracy of the estimation depends on the weather and other environmen- tal factors over the rest of the growing season af- ter the replant. Getting a good estimate together does require some time and computation, which is an excellent activity for a rainy day. Ultimately, the deci- sion to replant should be an economic decision, and is best explored by com- paring the estimated re- plant costs to the gross income gained from the new planting. Some spe- cial considerations exist when patching in some spots in fields, consid- ering switching hybrid maturities or the seed- ing rate. As Purdue Ag- riculture Economist Chris Hurt has report- ed, considering switch- ing to soybean might be the most economically beneficial choice at this point. In reality, emotion also plays into the deci- sion to replant. As Niels- en mentions in his arti- cle "Corn Replant Deci- sion-Making: Emotions vs. Economics," deciding to replant is somewhat de- pendent on the number of times the poor stand would have to be seen by the farmer or landlord over the life of the crop. For more information on replanting, contact Hans Schmitz at hschmitz@ purdue.edu or 812-385 - 3491, ext. 103. Melons were hand-planted in this field shortly after this picture was taken.

Brrr – there were storms and some were tornadoes near our ar- ea.

We are in our ninth year, and each year an invite has been made to everyone in Pike County and beyond its county lines. Pike County Memorial Day starts at several ceme- teries in the morning hours, so when they honor in your town you can honor your loved ones there also. Kyana and Daniel spent the night on Friday with Francis, who didn't spend the night. We were real- ly happy to see them, and Saturday morning we had a big breakfast of eggs, ba- con, biscuits, orange juice and coffee. Schools will soon be out for the summer, and sum- mer has shrunk a bit more, so when August begins then the Pike County schools begin al- so. So to all the stars, have a great summer and most of all have loads of fun and congrats to all as you grad- uate into another grade or you go out into the work- force. Winslow and Pike Coun- ty on Clean Up days: I hope you all have fun as you help others or as you help your- self in these days. Take a few rest times and please don't over do it. I forgot to tell you all about Mom's hearing aides that she just got last week. She says she can now hear real well and the T V was too loud for her until they redid her volume. They also speak to her when "battery is low" in her ear. She loves hear- ing again. As the lights begin to dim on this week's rambling, al- ways keep an eye on family and friends, slow down and enjoy your surroundings, watch out for school buses and kids playing in yards and sports fields, then as I will always say smile, wave and say "hi" to everyone this week.
