Early Frost Cuts Yields

Harvest continues across central North Dakota as farmers race to finish corn before colder weather arrives. “Most everything’s coming off pretty fast. So I would say, there’s 25 percent of the corn left out there,” Clark Price said. Price, who farms at Washburn, said yields are uneven due to an early September frost that affected some areas more than others. “That frost was the real key factor there. It took 40. 50 bushels off that corn for sure and maybe some places more than that, depending on how hard the frost was. When your yield monitor should be going up in the lower areas, it’s going down.”
