Uneven growth could harm corn harvest
The Associated Press
FORT WAYNE, Ind. Indiana farmers are worrying much of their corn won't make it to harvest.
Dry soil caused some seeds to germinate late, said Tony Vyn, associate professor of agronomy at Purdue University. Those stalks are shorter and have become a hazard for the healthy corn, Mr. Vyn said.
Bob Nielsen of the Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service said the uneven growth could cause a 10 percent loss.
About 140 bushels of corn usually are produced from each acre. Last year's price was about $1.90 per bushel. That means a farmer with 1,000 acres could see a loss of nearly $27,000.
