Update for all location: Season outlook as of mid June: All the corn is finally planted. With all the rain this spring planting season has been a challenge. Looks like we may have a few days of work around July 10-13th and then we may be off for a week to ten days. At this time it looks like the busiest time for corn detassseling in 2018 with be from July 26th to August 6th. We will have later fields to detasseling in mid August too. We will not be working over the July 4th holiday so enjoy the holiday weekend. Check back for more updates in a few weeks. Projected dates are subject to change based on weather conditions and how much/fast the corn grows. These dates on just early season projections to help you make summer plans.
