No-tillers will need to wait until temperatures warm up to determine whether freeze damage has occurred to the wheat crop, says the University of Kentucky.

Hail storms with up to baseball-sized hail hit corn and soybean fields across portions of central and eastern Nebraska on Tuesday afternoon and evening, June 3.

Corn growers who find unexpected lodging during harvest could find that the problem is caused by Bt-resistant western corn rootworm, an entomologist with Ohio State University's College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences said.

For fields that only had light frost damage, it is too early to harvest.

Each year excessive rain, floods, hail, tornadoes, and other calamities of nature create the need to replant crops, often later in the season than you would like.

Corn stalks and stubble are causing damage to agricultural equipment tires that range from sidewall cuts and punctures to chipping of large tractor tires. In some cases damage can be so severe it may require the farmer to replace tires.

With corn harvest lagging by 25% or more behind the norm, moisture spot checks indicating very wet grain and more unfavorable drying weather in the near-term forecast, some corn growers may already be considering leaving corn stand in the field until spring.
