Life in Christian County, Kentucky... The Rural Life...
I'm glad to report that the wheat fields in Christian County are looking good despite the frost damage a little over a month ago. I think the varieties in some fields had not yet developed enough to be damaged by frost.
Also, my brother explained to me that wheat will send out extra shoots if the main grain head is frost damaged. These shoots will produce wheat also. The quantity of grain per acre will be down a little, but there can still be a crop.
At any rate, it's good to see many wheat fields looking lush, green, and healthy. The frost-withered leaf blades are still there, but they've been covered over by new growth.
