A technical agronomist says a storm system moving through the Western Corn Belt could be both beneficial and harmful to harvest progress.
Tony Larson with Stine Seeds tells Brownfield as the storm system moves into Iowa, Missouri and Minnesota, growers should expect winds of 50 miles-per-hour. “With this wind coming through, I’m afraid of a lot of lodging could occur in those fields where the stalk cannibalization occurred this summer.”
Frost advisories have been posted for North-Central Kansas and Central Nebraska and Larson says that’s good news.
