nw MN | 28-30 depending on the field here. The night before was 31-32 I didn't see any damage but today there is definitely some freeze damage on the top leaves. Under the canopy it looks good for the most part.
Crop maturity ranges from 50% leaf drop up to full dark green and showing the first signs of yellowing.
Last time I remember top pods freezing there was lots that got moldy in the pod. I am sure there will be some quality issues on the 0.4 and later beans but I cant imagine a big yield reduction. In 08 or 09 I know our area got a soybean quality payment from the USDA. I don't remember if it was through insurance or from fsa.
All we can do is watch those high pods and stems and see what happens. | |
