Wisconsin Ag Connection - National/World News - Corn Replanting Carries Major Risks, says ISU Agronomist
"Corn planted this late has an early frost damage risk of around 40 percent in the southern part of the state and as high as 66 percent in the northern areas," says Roger Elmore, ISU professor of agronomy and ISU Extension corn agronomist. "An early frost could mean the difference between 130 bushels an acre and 24."
