U.S. Frost, Freezes To Benefit Crops More Than Threaten Them

Kansas City, October 16 (World Weather Inc.) – Frost and freezes will occur far to the south in the southwestern U.S. Plains tonight, but the impact of this earlier than usual event will be low. Most summer crops in the Great Plains and Midwest are far enough advanced to benefit more from the frost and freezes than be adversely impacted. Leaf defoliation for cotton and soybeans will be accelerated after this frost event passes and that should lead to faster harvesting. Only a few crops are immature enough to be harmed by the cold and the impact would likely only be a slight decline in quality.
