unique because much of its potential productivity is determined
during the planting process.  Thus, corn is often much more
responsive or dependent on variables implemented during the
planting than other Southern crops.  Corn’s determinate growth
habit and fixed plant characteristics mean it possesses
tremendous potential productivity that is greatest when it
germinates.  However, any stress endured during the season
permanently reduces productivity.  In other words, every mistake
going to cost you performance, so you can never attain your full
potential.  Early planting is a well-known component of
successful corn production, since environmental stress normally
increases during the summer, reducing yield potential of late-
plantings.  However, rushing the process often instigates major
problems that overwhelm the benefit
