Buggy-whipping often occurs as corn recovers from freeze. This happens as new growth temporarily hangs on dead vegetation. They should soon pull free with little adverse effects. For reference, the corn in the last photo still made over 250 bu/a despite severe hail damage. 🌽

We should begin to see green leaves re-emerging from freeze burnt corn. Warm, sunny weather will promote growth, so this should help. However, it will be next week before we can fully assess survival. 🌽#mscorn #msuext #mscrops #corn #freeze

The Corn Short List identifies top performers in the MAFES Hybrid Trials. 12 companies entered over 40 hybrids to show their merit this year. This is a great barometer to judge the vast choices available. We are here to help. 🌽#mscorn #MSUext #mscrops #universitytested

Harvest aids will be needed in some #corn fields. However, take care to spray them only after black-layer, since killing corn prematurely will halt grain fill. This layer completes kernel growth and isolates them from the plant. Thus, grain drying is unaffected. 🌽#mscorn

Altering your late corn #irrigation schedule is a great opportunity to improve #ROI. Corn’s water use drops off nearly half compared to peak use as it nears maturity. Thus, you can prolong intervals and use a drier threshold. 🌽#mscorn #MSUext #plant25 #corn

Hard rain can erode beds, expose roots and create #corn developmental issues. This can lead to “rootless” plants falling down and dying when they get about a foot tall. 🌽 #mscorn #MSUext

These are the best yields #harvest24 so far this year in our MSU #Corn Hybrid Demo plots. Triple Run Farms went the extra mile to grow 2 plots and managed them well. Thanks to Adron, Alex, 8 participating seed companies and all involved. 🌽#mscorn #plant24 #MSUext #mscrops 🌽

Most #corn planted by early April reached a milestone last week - maturity. This is marked by a black layer which forms near the kernel base ending growth. Moisture is usually about 30% and further drying depends on weather. 🌽#mscorn #plant24 #MSUext #mscrops #harvest24🌽

Fourth of July is one of the holiday reminders to apply baits for fire ants! Granular baits are an easy, inexpensive way to reduce the number of mounds on your property by 80 to 90 percent. Learn more: ow.ly/i8mB50SoL4p #LearnWithExtension #MSUext
