Hail storm damages corn and soybeans south of Mt. Victory

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, August 7, 2014

Hail struck area fields in the county south of Mt. Victory July 27.  According to OSU corn specialist Peter Thomison (CORN 2014-25), the impact of hail damage is largely dependent on the corn’s stage of development.  

Checking the corn earlier this week, the field in question was in the V-10 to V-13 growth stages, which is based on the number of leaf collars on the plant.  Because the corn was planted late, it had yet to enter the reproductive stage where pollination occurs and the kernels start to form on the ears.
