Replanting Corn in Existing Stands; Hindsight Considerations

Earlier this spring, we visited this cornfield to evaluate for emergence problems. See the video we created at the time: • Corn Emergence Assessm... . Continual rains afterwards kept the producer out and replanting into poor populated areas wasn't possible until June 1st, about 6 weeks after the original planting. Now we visit this field just over a month after replanting/overseeing, and in hindsight, consider the implications now and later into the season, especially with harvest. With the aide of aerial photography, via a drone, it becomes very clear that hybrids are dramatically different in their tolerances to early season stressors. Something to be said about hybrid selection for soil types and anticipated planting dates.
