High Plains corn lodging study faces harvest timing issues
Delbert R. Langford, agronomist, cites irrigated High Plains corn as highly profitable but lodging remains a key risk. He notes lodging peaks with late planting and cold winters, while earlier planting reduces lodging and improves moisture handling costs. The study shows lodging up to 23 percent in some areas, with varying yields linked to planting dates and storage readiness.
