| With the last 3 days being in the mid 70's there is much damage from the freeze now showing up. Many farmers have been cutting heads, and, although it varies, on my fields anywhere from 50-75% of the heads are white or brown. Below are some pictures I took this afternoon. Number 29 is from a portion of a field where the entire plant is dying, due to collapsed stems. Number 31 shows some plants flat on the ground. Number 32 shows what this field looks like from a distance. It is slowly turning completely brown. Number 33 shows 2 different varieties. The left is Santa Fe, the right is Overly. The Santa Fe was planted on September 29, the Overly on October 12. Although the Santa Fe looks greener, cutting open heads revealed about the same percentage of live vs. dead heads (around 50%)
