As far is the corn, the heat effects it's maturity much more than the dry. Corn hybrid varieties are sorted by, among other things, relative maturity. Relative maturity is based on growing degree days, or how many heat units it takes to get it ripe. It being dry would effect pollination(how well the ear is covered by kernals) and overall size of the ear. Each depending on when it was dry. Ear size is determined relatively early in the year, and pollination is late after the tassel, which contains the pollen, emerges. Corn is a self pollenator so it needs moisture to develop lots of pollen on a healthy tassel. Now for random I witnessed a WILD car accident today going north on 41 thru oshkosh. A car somehow was crossing the median right towards me and as it crossed its wheels caught the sod and that caused the car to flip several times in the air. The flipping kept it from hitting me or going into northbound traffic so that is good I guess. I hope the people in the car are ok. Lots of people going South were stopped so I motored on as I was hauling a load of cattle and wanted them off the trailer. I drove race car for 8 years and this was race track style flipping. So I get home and figure I've got the big story. Nope. While working outside today my dad was stung by multiple wasps and became incoherent and had to be rushed to the hospital. What a day.
