Fire is often used to clear the land for maize production even though this method of clearing land causes the soil to be nutrient poor. Also, any fires that occur during the growing season will damage the crop and decrease the harvest.

The production of maize (or mealies as it is called in South Africa) is influenced in various ways by storms. Very strong winds may flatten the upright plants and flash rains may even cause the stalks to be washed away. Clayish soils offer some resistance to floods, but in sandy soils the maize roots are not as well anchored.
