An extension corn specialist says later maturing corn is becoming more difficult to harvest.
Recently retired Bob Nielsen with Purdue University tells Brownfield corn dry down is normally challenging in October and more winterlike weather will continue to limit that process.
“Unfortunately we had fields that were not black layering until, say, the first week of October, and then they simply experienced normal October temperatures, and so they’ve been drying extremely slowly, if at all,” he explains.
