# Agronomy eUpdate October 16th, 2018 : Issue 715

> Kansas State's Agronomy eUpdate reports that October 15-16 freezing temperatures dropped well below 30°F across most of Kansas. Most Kansas corn was already mature, so the expected impact is limited, though test weight and grain quality may suffer.
