The 2024 corn season has created some ugly cornfields around the state. Those fields are about to turn the corner if they have not already. Excessive water, cool temperatures, windy conditions, active slugs and bugs, sidewall compaction, weeds and more created many challenges for the corn planted, especially corn planted earlier. Most of the corn is somewhere between emergence and about waist high which can be anywhere from the V8 growth stage (which has eight fully emerged leaves) to about V12.

This follows closely on the heels of greenwashing violations found against Tlou Energy Limited and the Australian unit of a U.S. headquartered asset manager.

The dry weather across the state is putting stress on the corn crop. The lack of water to corn before the V12 growth stage usually results in minimal yield losses if adequate water occurs at V12 and beyond. Nearly all of corn in Kentucky ranges from just planted to about V9 as of June 5, 2023. While yield losses might be minimal, some other issues can or will occur with a lack of water.
