An early frost before corn maturity can often reduce both yield and quality acorn, as well as increase the chances of stalk breakage of com. Unlike last year, when corn was still in the milk stage and had no chance to mature, much of this year's corn was within about two weeks of reaching maturity. The frost which occurred this year killed corn plants -below the cob. When this occurs, the com cob "robs .nutrients" from the stalk, to try and complete kernel afilling and maturity. This results in weakened stalks, . rincreasing the chance of stalk breakage. We have already seen some of this weakness in cornstalks from winds on October 16 and 17. Because ,;of the increased stalk breakage being seen, many fam►- 'ers arc considering harvesting corn at higher moistures -'than they would like to. Where high moisture corn is being stored, the rec- ommended moisture range is.25 to 35r orcent with the optimum level being 28 to 30 percent. High moisture ear corn may be stored at moistures Brom 25 to 40 per- cent, or about five percent wetter than "high moisture shelled com. Com has also been slow to dry down since the frost. immature corn that was frosted will have moisture "trapped" in the tip of the kernel, resulting in slower dry down. As this com dries, ,kernels shrink and are lighter in test weight. This may result in some com grading 3 or 41his fall. Slower dry down rates and increased chance of stalk breakage will require each individual field .to be checked as to when to harvest. ' Corn trial plots will be a valuable source of informa- tion iri*checking standability of varieties. In Huron and Perth, the Soil and Crop Improvement Associations will be summarizing yield, moisture and standability information for presentation at their annual meeting. Trials should be sent to the Ontario Ministry of Agri- culture and Food offices in Huron and Perth Counties.
