Extension Help for Harvest Challenges
Corn Ear Rot, Grain Mold Diseases and Grain Drying. The cooler summer temperatures and late season precipitation are exacerbating harvest challenges this year. Diseases in the corn still standing in the fields such as corn ear rot cause even more problems in stored grain and should be handled differently at harvest to prevent further losses. The pathogens that cause these diseases can continue to grow in the bin and may have dramatic impacts on quality, including the possibility of mycotoxin accumulation. View the Market Journal report (*above) or these linked CropWatch stories for information. The unusually wet fall conditions and slow maturing grains also require many producers to consider options for drying grain. View this Market Journal report for more information and see related news stories on the CropWatch Web site homepage.*Watch 4 min. video by clicking the Play button.
