Early frost has damaged many acres of corn in North Dakota. The stage of maturity of the corn and the intensity and duration of the freeze will directly impact corn grain yield. In some cases, the severity of the damage may have growers looking for options to salvage what is left of the crop.
Take care with frost-damaged corn
Frost-damaged corn can have a moisture content of 70 percent to 80 percent, and it must be dried down to less than 20 percent to be suitable for baling.
