Corn Beginning to Tassel in Kentucky

Corn has begun tasseling in Kentucky while soybean planting is nearing its conclusion, the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service field office in Louisville reported Monday. Nine percent of the corn had tasseled as of Sunday, approximately two weeks behind last year because of the rain-delayed planting this spring. The corn crop is rated in mostly good condition. Soybean planting was 85-percent complete, down from the five-year average of 92 percent at this time of year. The crop is rated in mostly good condition.
