Subject: RE: Frost Damaged Corn Aftermath


Arva, Ontario

I'm seconding Tom's "uncharted territory" comment.

We've frozen lots of corn off here in the past, lose the leaf tissue, carry on. Hardly skip a beat.

This time, something's different. It all is alive, but some of it is just growing sssslllllooooowwww. Corn over your knee, few feet away 4-5 leaves and not terribly 'thrifty' looking. If you 've ever seen tile-run wheat, this year we have tile-run corn. Was just that little bit drier over the tile run that the frost damage was a little more severe...  Like you, our most productive parts of farms was hit the hardest.

We replanted the first half of our soys - anything planted before May 8 was advanced enough to freeze hard enough to die - especially high residue (no-till on cornstalks) fields.
