Twas the night before tar spot, when all thru the field
Not a creature was stirring to reduce corn yield
Ears were all growing kernels with care
In hopes the combine soon would be there
The silks were nestled snug in their beds
While visions of pollen grains danced in their heads
These are not tar spot. For tar spot prediction data near your farm, check out the Forecasting Tool at cropprotectionnetwork.org/cr….

🚨 With the recent detection of New World screwworm in a 3-week-old bovine in Zavala County, TX, USDA urges residents to contact your veterinarian right away if you see any suspicious wounds, maggots, or infestations in your animals or herd.
If you see signs of maggot infestations in live or very recently dead wild animals, especially in areas near the U.S./Mexico border, please call 866-4USDA-WS (866-487-3297) to report it to your local USDA Wildlife Services office.
For more information, visit SCREWWORM.GOV.
