The growth of the region’s corn crop slowed to a crawl with the cooler temperatures, then raced to catch up during last week’s near record highs.  NC State Extension Corn Specialist Dr. Ron Heiniger says the crop is back on track, and the yield potential is still there: “I do want to say this; I don’ t think we’ve lost anything in yield potential, it’s just been a fact of temperature that’s slowed us down.  I think we’re still on track for a good crop.”
