The La Niña to date is tracking the 1973-4 event, a risk factor for 2011. The La Nina is now as strong as in 1973 and has similar timing,says Elwynn Taylor, U. of Iowa. 1974 was a poor corn season for the Midwest (cold then drought, then frost) and low U.S. corn yield.
We had bad frost that year not as bad as 2002 or 2004 but bran frost. Add late seeding due to wet conditions and 2011 could have grave circumstances.
Early since seeding is 5 months away. But way more snow than all of last year. Creeks still flowing.
