The cooler start to summer got the crop off to a later start. NDSU Small Grains Agronomist Claire Keene says the corn needs a few more days of warm temperatures to finish out. “Certainly the hot temperatures have helped us catch up a little bit.” The balance of this month will be instrumental in drying the crop. “I don’t expect most full-season corn to hit black layer for another two weeks or so. Corn really benefits from warm weather to dry down and save farmers the cost associated with drying corn.”
