Burned corn crop not a total loss in drought heat
An agronomist reports that corn damaged by heat and drought during pollination may yield little grain but can still provide silage or stover rich in protein and energy. Banished pollen limits grain formation while leaves and stems store nutrients, especially in barren cobs and stalks, offering feed value higher than typical stover.
