The first and second installments of a U.S. Grains Council (USGC) video series chronicling the 2016 U.S. corn growing season are now available online, highlighting pre-planting decisions and planting progress on farms in Arkansas, Missouri, South Dakota and Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

The segments are available online at <\/strong>http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/PlantDec2016<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/cornplant16<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most U.S. farmers began making their decisions for next year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s growing season in the fall.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We make our planting decisions in the fall when we are getting ready to spread the fertilizer,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd said Casey Kelleher, a Wisconsin farmer.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, U.S. farmers may do tillage work and purchase seed in the fall. Closer to planting time, farmers begin to prepare their equipment. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Prior to every year, we get the corn planter out and check all the bearings and mechanical parts,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd said Ryan Wagner, a South Dakota farmer. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Also, today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s corn planters have a lot of electronics for us to maintain, so each year we have to make sure all the controllers are working the way we want them to. This takes a couple of weeks every year.\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, after the machinery was ready to go, many U.S. corn farmers began planting in mid-April as the weather was ideal. To get the corn in the ground in a timely fashion, many farmers hire extra help.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153For planting, we have over equipped ourselves because we want to be able to get a large amount of acreage planted in a small window of time,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd said Tommy Young, a farmer in Arkansas. <\/span><\/p>\n

While planting got off to a good start, weather remains the key factor in determining yields.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a little concerned about missing some showers,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd said Gary Porter, a Missouri farmer. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153However, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m hoping we got the corn in the ground early enough that it will pollinate before the dry weather hits.\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd<\/span><\/p>\n

The U.S. Department of Agriculture World Agriculture Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report that was released in June is predicting this year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s corn crop to total 365.8 million metric tons (14.4 billion bushels). While this is an increase from last year, only time and the weather will determine the 2016\/2017 U.S. corn crop\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s yield.<\/span><\/p>\n

The next installment of this video series, available in late summer, will revisit these farmers to see how their crops are growing.  <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
