Weather Won't Hurt Corn Crop In Iowa
Last night's below freezing weather will not cause serious damage to the Iowa corn crop. Leslie Carl, statistician for the Iowa crop and livestock reporting service, said a light frost will help corn mature. If temperatures stay above freezing for several days, there is no reason for concern. Some frost was reported at Charles City and Ames. Spencer and Mason City saw 30 to 81 degree readings? The cold may have damaged some corn, but frost generally aids maturation unless prolonged cold lasts. Clouds today should bring warmer temps. tonight's low six to 13 degrees above freezing.
