[AT] Got frost?

[dfolske at nccray.net]

We had temps as low as 25F here in NW ND.  Definitely enough to 
damage some of the late crops. Most of the canola is already 
swathed so it should be ok.  The late sunflowers are at bud stage 
which is very easily damaged.  I went to a wedding in SE ND this 
weekend and I saw quit a bit of corn today that appeared to have 
leaf damage.
