SYNOPSIS

We really could use a rain for the later planted soybeans as well as some corn. Despite the dryness, some tar spot and southern rust has started to show up on late-planted corn. European corn borer was also found in late planted corn (R3). Overall, soybeans are progressing well, but have unfortunately found red crown rot as well as SDS. Frogeye leafspot is just starting to show up.
