Subject: Effect of the cold on corn


Pond Creek, Oklahoma
Only my second year growing corn. I began planting corn on Mar. 21st and it took 2 weeks to emerge. Now it is 1 to 2 leaves (1-2 inches tall). Soil temps have hovered between 50 and 57 the past 3 weeks. The ground is also wet. The night before last alot of it got frosted but just damaged part of the plants. Most of them are still alive. Is yield potential hurt? It's supposed to finally warm up the rest of the week and hit 80 degrees Monday. I'm just curious how much corn seedlings can take before they are permanently damaged. Thanks
