Subject: RE: How much rain can corn take


Central Iowa
I've had flooding in tall corn several times and it's usually not good. If the water truly gets off in 36-48 hours that would really help, but in bottom ground usually there are plenty of pockets of water that remain and the whole field just stays wet and turns into a sauna and cooks the corn in 2 - 3 weeks. I only had it go over the ears once and that was in mid-August. You can get ear rot and other diseases and the corn may not even mature right kind of like an early frost can cause but it's hard to say on yours cause it's so early. It probably hasn't even pollinated yet so it might not be affected as much. Good luck!
