Speaking to wheat: A late freeze can cause the plant to grow a ‘stint’ of sorts to protect itself…and said growth dwarfs the max height and fruit that the plant can achieve. The margins are already so thin that it will cost more to harvest it than what it will yield in bushels per acre for sale. And this is why crop insurance is a thing.
