# Crop Weather -- After the Snow

> A record October blizzard and freeze in Oct. 7-13 damaged immature corn and soybeans in North Dakota and Nebraska, and crop ratings fell in several states. Corn maturity is about two weeks behind normal and the harvest is 10-15 days behind, with more storms forecast for the central US.
