Frost Damages Corn in County Reaching Thirty Percent
Cherokee Times reports county extension director A. R. Griffith says about 80 percent of local corn was seriously damaged by the September 28 frost and will not yield marketable corn. About 30 percent is soft immature corn that will dry chaffy with shriveled grain. Some neighboring counties faced worse frost, with Clay County noting a 21 degree low versus 26 in Cherokee. Griffith recommends silo storage or ear corn silage to utilize the soft corn.
