Corn/Soybean Replant Worksheet

Developed by Bill Wiebold, Extension Agronomist, and Ray Massey, Crop Economist
University of Missouri

Because the interplay among stand density, planting date, and environment is difficult to predict, deciding whether or not to replant a sparse stand is difficult. This worksheet is designed to help farmers think through the process as they make the decision as objectively as possible. It is recommended that no decision be made solely because these worksheets indicate it would be profitable. Consult an agronomist to verify the accuracy of the input.
