Subject: RE: snow on emerged corn??


NW TX Panhandle
Most important thing from this point on, is how fast everything warms up & receives sunshine. Small plants, germinated to emerged, don't make their own energy at this point & rely on stored energy from the seed. The faster the plant can start making it's own energy the better off it will be. A repeated freeze/snow event would be the worst thing to happen versus a nice sunny warm up. The snow probably helped deal with sub freezing temperatures as it helped save some of the soil temperature from all being lost to the air. Good luck.
