Last week’s extreme heat wave across the Corn Belt may have caused some top-end yield loss for some crops.
Trey Stephens is an agronomist with Becks who covers Southeast Nebraska and says the corn crop likely suffered some damage. “Anything that is going to be planted earlier and hit pollination before that critical time, seem to far a little better. Anything that was planted a little bit later or pollinating, or maybe a later maturity that was pollinating during that time, I think could have been affected.
