Episode Synopsis

Recorded: 8/25/23Of all the things that are in a farmer's control to produce a healthy crop, unfortunately, the weather is not one of them. This year, several farms across Pennsylvania encountered hail damage from strong storm systems, and when that happens, it can be challenging to determine what the next best move is. Thankfully, Justin McMechan from the University of Nebraska Extension joins us on to discuss how to assess a hail-damaged field and what management options a grower has going forward.  Useful Links:7-Day Time Lapse of Corn Recovery from Hail DamageHail Damage Evaluation and Management in CornEvaluating Early-Season Hail Damage in CornHosts: Joseph Akins and Dwane Miller, Penn State ExtensionGuest: Justin McMechan, University of Nebraska-LincolnPhoto credit: Pixabay.comSign up for our newsletter, Field Crop News, and follow us on Facebook!
