More info on wheat and corn loss in Easter freeze

In this weekend's AgFax: Southern Grain we will have more on the extent of Southern corn and wheat loss due to the Easter weekend freeze, but here are some of the high points:

• South Carolina and Kentucky Extension specialists say that about half of their wheat crops were likely lost to the freeze.
• In Tennessee, the number might be even higher.
• A good deal of corn will have to be replanted in the upper Midsouth. No firm estimates yet, but we may have more numbers by the time we finish our calls Friday afternoon.
  

We've also posted a couple of items from the University of Kentucky:
