A WinField United agronomist says the corn crop in Ohio is experiencing nutrient deficiencies.

Joe Rickard says wet conditions have caused higher than normal deficiencies in
boron.
“All the growers have noticed it’s been wet, so that boron that has been in the soil has leached away and that’s why we’re seeing some of these deficiencies this year,” he says.
About 98 percent of corn tissue samples taken at the V4-8 growth stage in Ohio this week were deficient in boron.
