PCT Shorts: Mid-June Planting Tips – Soybean Row Spacing, Seeding Rates & Corn Hybrid Decisions

As we wrap up the first week of June and move into mid-season planting, Jonah Johnson shares key agronomy insights to help maximize yield potential in both soybeans and corn.

In this update, Jonah covers:

• Why narrowing soybean row spacing (7.5–15 inches) can improve canopy closure and yield consistency

• Recommended seeding rates for mid-June planting and ideal final plant populations

• How to select the right soybean maturity to maximize growth before frost

• When to stick with your original corn hybrid—and when to transition to shorter-season options

• Understanding growing degree unit (GDU) accumulation and how later planting impacts hybrid performance

Whether you’re finishing up planting or adjusting your strategy for the season, these practical tips will help you make informed decisions in the field.
