Harvest, Dry and Store Frost Damaged Crops
(Posted on 11/5/2009)
Much of this year's late maturing corn and soybean crop in the Eastern Corn Belt could be severely damaged by an early frost. Options for harvesting, drying, and storing frost-damaged corn and soybeans depend on the plant's developmental stage when frost occurred. Frost damage will affect crops in at least five ways: reduced yields, dockage due to lower test weights or undesirable color, reduced harvest efficiency, wetter than desirable grain, and higher drying costs.

(Posted on 11/5/2009)
The corn harvest is later than it has been any time in recent memory, and the prolonged moist conditions are conducive for molds to develop on grain in the field. Over the past few days we have received numerous reports of ear rots developing in the field and questions concerning mycotoxin production when conditions are cool but wet.
