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

In general, corn should be planted when soil temperatures are near 50 Â°F. Seed will absorb about 30 percent of its weight in water, and temperature does not affect water imbibition much.
Planting should not occur before soil temperatures are near 50Â° F for corn and 55Â° F for soybeans with a positive weather outlook. At 50Â° F corn will take approximately 25 days to emerge. At 55-60Â° F corn will take 10-14 days to emerge. At 65-70Â° F corn only takes five to eight days to emerge (Meyer). How long a seed can last in the soil and remain viable depends on temperature, moisture, and pests.
