1. Hopefully, this will end any debate about whether the 2019 growing season ended sometime in the last week, for all but parts of the far eastern and SE parts of the Corn Belt. Good grief. Parts of ND off the scale. #earlywinter
2. I find the grey parts of the scale especially interesting. This is at least 1 hour of temps below freezing. Remember it only takes a couple of hours below freezing to kill a corn or soybean plant.
3. So, we should take it as a fact that something like 80% of the Corn Belt had a killing freeze in the last week. Now the big question is what damage did this do to yield potential? A freeze does little if any damage if crops are mature.
