Frost heave/lift on winter corn.


Above is Nickerson Original Alchemy in very heavy claggy clays at Whitstone, near Launceston which came through the winter without much suffereing, even though there was standing water that froze here. Below is Original Istabraq at Ashwater, again no issues with the very hard frost and wet this last winter.


Contrast this above with this below of other seed, with the effects seen though in later growth stages.






Seen a lot of this this year after the very cold winter, following a very wet Autumn where late drilled wheat suffered badly.
