In this episode of the Agronomy Answers podcast, host Zach Hefty is joined by Darren Hefty to answer a question every corn grower has wondered: How early is too early to plant? They dive into the origin story of 40 Series corn, explain how early vigor, disease tolerance, seed treatment, and cold germination testing all work together to make early planting possible, and discuss why testing at 40 degrees — not the industry-standard 50 — changed the game. If you've wondered whether pushing your planting date earlier is worth the risk, this episode breaks down what it takes to do it right.
