In this solo episode of Patio Pondering, host Jim Smith, Ph.D., a swine nutritionist and farmer from Northeast Indiana, digs into the agronomic and personal lessons behind uneven corn emergence in the 2025 growing season. Drawing from his own no-till, cover-cropped fields, Jim discusses how planter setup, sidewall compaction, and low oxygen conditions caused by saturated soils all play a role in delayed or inconsistent emergence.
If you’re evaluating emergence issues, troubleshooting planter performance, or wondering how excess rainfall and waterlogged soils affect early plant growth, this episode blends field-level insight with big-picture perspective.
👉 Topics Covered:
- 2025 corn emergence variability
- Diagnosing sidewall compaction and oxygen-limited soils
- Impacts of no-till, cover crops, and planter setup
- How saturated conditions hinder root development
Pour a cup of coffee, take a seat on the patio, and join Jim for a grounded look at emergence, compaction, and the conversations we all need to have—on and off the farm.
