When to plant maize in Texas?

In Texas, the optimal time to plant maize (corn) typically ranges from late February to early June, depending on the region. In the southern parts of the state, planting can begin as early as mid-February, while in the northern areas, it's best to wait until late April or early May. It’s crucial to consider soil temperature, aiming for at least 50°F for germination, and to account for local frost dates to ensure a successful crop.
