It was about 7 or 8 years ago. We had a nice spring and got some corn in early and got it up real quick. It got down to about 23 degrees one night when this corn was three leaf. Everybody said it would be ok. I checked on it everyday for about two weeks. I counted every day how many plants were viable and how many werent. Each day it improved and we ended up with a stand near 26K. We planted 34K but some plants fell over and couldnt get the new leaves out and keep growing so they died. It was about this time of the year we talked with the agronomist said to leave it the stand was adequate and the rest of the corn would recover. He was wrong, dead wrong. Final decision after the fact was the corn was froze and frosted not just frosted. This one field of corn ended up with several thousands plants per acre that never got over knee high and it cut the yield about 50 bpa. We have had corn frosted before and it's never good but if it freezes it is a whole different deal. Be glad its only a small area, good luck. bill
