light` frost
does 1i#tle
damage here'
What looks like a good corn
crop in Huron County this
year could turn into a disaster �.
if a killer frost strikes the
area in the next month.,.
A light ground frost on
-Monday morning did little
damage to any crops in the
area except some white beans ...:..
and sensitise vegetable crops
in low lying areas, but local.
agricultural. experts are';
coneerned that, cool nights.
and maybe -Ven whirl"freeie. •
could cut grain corn yields
-cunsiderably. t.
• ' Don " Pullen, agricultural
representative " for Huron
County, said the corn needs at
least three weeks:yet of warm
sunny weather to reach its
full potentia.lj. ,
Farmers are remembering
thedisastrous crop of 1974
that was,hit• by an early '
Septembefrost, following a
coop summer much like this
year. '
Mr. Pullen said that little
damage was -reported from, -
Monday's • frost, which
followed two weeks of hot, dry
weather, but with the
weatherman .predicting frost
again on Thursday and
Friday morning, farmers are
very worried. .
1•3e reported .that Borne
beans haye already been..
pulled in the southern part of
Huron, but many late planted
field's still need two weeks of
•' warm; dry weather to mature
in time. Even without the
frost, • the crop is . barely
average.
