Tar spot of corn has been a concern this season after the localized epidemics we experienced last year in Indiana.

Serious crop stress during the grain filling period of corn increases the risk of stalk rots and stalk lodging (breakage) prior to grain harvest.
Corn is often harvested at grain moisture contents higher than the 15% moisture typically desired by grain buyers.
The time has come to start scouting corn for ear and stalk rots. This will aid in making assessments about field harvest order and if there is a risk of mycotoxin contamination.
Droopy ears are cute on certain breeds of dogs, but droopy ears on corn plants prior to physiological maturity are a signal that grain fill has slowed or halted.
Before you put the pivot away for the season, use a camera or drone video of pivot water patterns and pipe leaks to greatly help winter irrigation repairs.
CBD hemp harvest is underway for some growers, while others expect to harvest all the way into October.
