This is a real disappointment this morning. We dropped 4 deg colder than projected. Heavy Frost in our late planted bean canopy this morning (29). There will be a lot of acres in this part of the world affected by this freeze.
@ArlanFF101 I can attest to this. I had 45bu DC soy go to 12bu because of a freeze in upper 20s on Oct 14 last year. They were 50% yellow leaves R6/R7 maturity at the time.
@rodgrisier1958 @MorganMcNeal90 Quickest turnaround on a harvestable bean in greenhouse in my experience is just shy of 90 days. Flowered usually 3-4wks after planting. Time from bloom to bean was like 58ish days. That help?
Today's project is preparing and updating reference materials for the challenging harvest season that lies ahead. Here is a handy corn maturity guide, including expected yield loss from killing frost before black layer:
On the surface, it’s easy to say these look like any other hybrids. But when you go beyond the seed, you’ll discover the difference. Explore the science behind the #CornRevolution. https://t.co/zuTlUbxF5y
@rodgrisier1958 Maybe a touch soon, but it doesn't seem that early to me I guess (mid July already!) Been plenty of good season for growth this year until recently
