Corn Yield Altered by Heat as Frost Eludes Iowa Crop
A crop report notes hot winds cut corn yields while frost stayed away. Farmers like Will Thompson near the Buchanan county line say silage filling continued and rains could help, though drought kept pastures brown. Officials estimate 40 percent of corn is out of danger of early frost, with most crop safe by mid May, though maturity quickened and some yield loss occurred from extreme heat and dry soil conditions. Waterloo dealers remain cautiously optimistic about the corn prospect despite the dry spell and high temperatures.
