Subject: RE: Corn test weight and frost?



I disagree with most of the 'southerners' here Nodak. It has been my experience (my corn freezes to death pre-black layer just about every year) that you will lose a few bushels (I'd say 5% would be high side) and dry down time may take longer (it will still dry down sooner or later, my worst was 2009 finished 18% moisture on Dec31) but you should be fine, especially if you are that far along. It will make some good corn, don't sweat it too much. My soybeans invariably take a bigger hit, I think the corn deals with early frost much better.

P.S. We are supposed to get a touch that of frost too and I've been sweating it, even though it does this to me Every Single Time.
