With corn and soybeans in the critical reproductive stages rain is a four letter word we like to have often in the forecast. A four letter word we curse with rain is hail. That is what about a two square mile area between 16 and 17 from State Route 20A up through County Road K experienced on Tuesday evening. Crop injury at this point is an unwelcomed as it comes at the most vulnerable stage.
Below are tables on defoliation and yield loss for corn ( Table E) and soybeans (Table H) from the crop insurance adjuster book. The data charts are similar to other references that I have seen and shows a complete range of growth stages and yield loss.
