Episode 187 – Spring Update: Planting progress, cold damage, and more
About this episode
The episode discusses the impacts of cold weather on crop planting in Ohio for 2026.
Planting season are never normal and 2026 is no exception. With the southern half of Ohio nearing completion and the northern half struggling to make headway, there was a lot of crop variability as below freezing temperatures hit the state. Expected prolonged cold and wet weather as another wrinkle. Dr. Jason Hartschuh , Field Specialist with OSU Extension, joins us as we talk about the potential impacts on corn, soybean, wheat and alfalfa. We share what to look for now and in the coming weeks as we deal with a cooler, wetter May. This CORN Newsletter has two articles on freeze impacts to soybeans and wheat: https://agcrops.osu.edu/newsletter/corn-newsletter/2026-12 . The Purdue photo gallery on freeze damage can be found at: https://www.agry.purdue.edu/ext/corn/news/articles.01/Frost_Corn_Soy-0418_Gallery.html .
