Farmers who have not been able to get their corn planted because of wet conditions this spring might be able to benefit from research in the North Country on varieties that can be planted late and still produce a good crop.

Field trials funded by the Northern New York Agricultural Development Program and conducted on farms in Canton, Chazy and Willsboro evaluated the option of planting shorter season corn hybrids -- brown midrib (BMR) corn and BMR sorghum-sudangrass (SXS) -- to adjust for late corn planting conditions.
