Tar spot confirmed in Caldwell County, KY. Our first find in 2023. No management needed with harvest beginning across the state, but if you see something suspicious let us know so we can track it! Shout out to @Agronomist_Whit for finding the disease! @UKExtension @UKAgriculture

The first day of the 2023 Wheat Tour is met with low expectations for this years crop. From drought, to freeze damage, and disease pressure this year's crop is battling it all. brownfieldagnews.com/news/re…

The corn has emerged, so exciting!! But, who can tell me what these little yellow spots are on some of the babies? The OH 7B variety seems most affected, but I see some of them on some of the other varieties too...
