Wait to plant until the soil temperature is right. In general, corn should be planted when soil temperatures are near 50 Â°F.

Planting shallow in this situation places the seed in an area of higher soil temperatures, which will aid in faster germination. Planting corn into a soil temperature ranging from 50 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit may take 18 to 21 days to emerge, while between 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit can emerge in 8 to 10 days. Knowing the soil temperature at the planting depth being used is important in understanding when emergence can be expected to occur.
