The crops seemed to handle last week’s heat well, and overall conditions are looking good. Most of the corn has tasseled and appears to be relatively disease-free, at least for now. Soybeans ar...
As corn begins to tassel across our area, fungicide applications on corn will be getting underway over the next week. As summer continues, it is also time to start thinking about soybean fields and ge...
It's time to scout for corn diseases. The earliest planted corn is beginning to tassel, and the next week or two will be the optimum time for a fungicide application. Now is the time to be out in ...
