Videos of Frosted corn from last year


Seems very similar to last years late frost for me here in NE Iowa (45 miles north of Waterloo )

This years frost (for me) seems a little more serious, but after digging up numerous plants growing points have not been effected and any tissue that was at or below the soil level was protected by the soil temps (49 F). I think it would help bring the new growth through faster if we had some sunny and warmer weather coming, but time will tell.

Hope everyone else's corn comes through well.
