This field of 96 day Channel 196-77STX planted on April 27th is nearing the end of pollination. Most fields have started silking and dropping pollen this week. I know many people are concerned about the high temperatures predicted for weeks end. Most fields I have scouted this week will be at least half pollinated before the heat hits. The main concern will be night time temperatures. The forecast shows lows on the hottest days of 67-71 degrees. This will allow plant temps to cool and pollination to occur. 1-2 days of 95+ degree heat during pollination with our adequate soil moisture will lower yields less than 1%.
