Subject: RE: Hailed on corn, what to expect? pics



Scottville, 49454 Northwest Michigan

I'm reading that most of us here say you should replant.   I'm not so sure.   I have no personal experience to say the crop as-it-is, is still capable of producing a good crop.   But I've heard from those that know more than I about how corn responds to hail.... say the yield loss from hail on corn at your crop's growth stage will be minimal.  

So if it was me in your situation.... I would try to get some "experts" to evaluate my corn crop.   I would contact my seed provider.   I would contact a hail insurance adjuster, if one was available.  Try to find some people with experience or knowledge of what to expect.  

Just now I remembered someone talking about a study out of Iowa State University about hail damage.  I searched for that study and found this.  I think it's an excellent article on assessing hail damage.   I think you would do well to read this article.
