GENERALLY, A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF stress accompanies a decision to replant. Reasons for replanting are numerous and the decision to replant presents a whole series of problems that producers must consider. Yields likely will be lower and grain moisture higher at harvest. Earlier maturing hybrids likely will be required, or perhaps switching to an alternate crop such as soybeans will be necessary. If soybeans becomes a better choice, will there be herbicide problems? Many difficult decisions must be made rather quickly. There are some preliminary consid- erations that all producers must take into account before making the deci- sion to replant. The first should be to thoroughly evaluate the current stand, both in terms of the plant population, the uniformity of the stand, and the overall health of the existing plants. Stand counting was covered previously (see Table 4). Take enough counts so that a representative view of the replant area is achieved. Table 7 combines the plant popula- tion and planting date information for corn into a single table to aid i
