Snow is still on the ground in the upper Midwest, so corn planting will come late this year. Corn needs a specific number of growing degree days to reach maturity. If planting comes late, there is a chance that maturity will not be reached before frost. This will take a bite into the size of the corn corp. It is too early to state that there will be a problem, but the chance of a crop problem is growing.
Agriculture is always a seasonal business and when season change is late there will be problems.
