Corn Crop Benefiting From Late Season Rain

We're still a few weeks away from the corn harvest.
 
Morgan Cott with the Manitoba Corn Growers Association gave us an update.
 
"It's looking good, it's a little stagey still across the province...Those rains definately will have helped everything fill and finish up a little better as long as those plants haven't started to shut down already. That's our greatest concern at this point, is that the plants will have started shutting down and they won't be taking up any moisture from the soil."
 
Cott is hoping the frost stays away long enough to allow the corn crop to finish developing.
