Brian Early, Pioneer agronomist based in Peru Indiana, said despite the lack of rain and 90 degree heat, the corn is doing surprisingly well, “It rolls up about 10am every morning and unrolls about 10pm every night.” He told HAT as long as the corn is still unrolling in the evening it is a good sign. But he says with each passing day of drought the situation gets worse, “If we don’t see some rain soon, things will start to move backwards very quickly.”
