Corn Higher Seven Of Past Eight Days On Frost Damage/Risk


This has been a slowly rising trend, but is significant nevertheless! Frost damage is growing, and so is the risk of more frost damage throughout the Midwestern growing regions. Manitoba had freezing temperatures last night sufficient to end the crop growing season entirely. Nearly all crops were lost. This is going to raise crop prices because this is still very early to see this amount of crop destruction!

Even here in Bountiful, we had a frost warning last night, with more expected tonight and tomorrow. Our tomatoes may be doomed!
