Early July storms brought with it hail damage to cornfields in Kansas. Now farmers are left with the hard decision of what to do next.
Kansas State Agronomists say that corn growers should first check their crop’s development stage.
Younger corn is more likely to bounce back from hail damage, but mature crops in southwest Kansas might have a tougher time and should watch for tillers and disease in damaged crops.
If you are thinking about replanting, the University of Nebraska suggests considering removal costs, previous fertilizers, herbicides, and timing.
Before making any decisions, consulting with your crop insurance agent is always a good idea.
