Did the recent cold temperatures across Ohio impact wheat that was already ahead of schedule?

In this week’s PCT Shorts, Jonah Johnson breaks down what the late frost may mean for Ohio’s wheat crop—especially fields that had fully emerged heads or were beginning to flower. Learn which temperatures actually cause damage, why flowering wheat is most at risk, and what signs to watch for over the next 7–10 days, including head bleaching, twisting, and anther discoloration.

Jonah also explains why patience matters before making fungicide decisions and how secondary and tertiary tillers may help offset damage if temperatures didn’t stay below critical thresholds for long.
