The season has been fantastic for maize growing and a lot of the crops we have seen will be ready to cut this week, much earlier than we would normally see. Weather Forecast The forecast shows a good dry week this week with rain moving in early next week, so if your crops are ready, make use of the weather window! Maximise Quality Some crops are very tall this year, and whilst cob development has been good, they are out of proportion to the stem compared to a ‘normal crop’.
