I took this directly from the CBOT morning commentary,
"Last week's crop progress reports showed 18% of the corn crop at the dent stage, which means that it is free from the threat of frost damage."
Correct me if I am wrong but just because a hybrid is at dent it could still need 1000 heat units or a month to get to black layer when it is safe from a frost. I alwsys thought black layer is the true "end of road" and you are safe.
Does CBOT really know when frost hurts corn???
