STEPHANIE PORTER UPDATES



The good news is that it rained, but the bad news is it has not stopped for a few days now. The mid May planted corn is at brown silk and hopefully successfully pollinated. April planted soybeans are tall and a bit tangled after recent storms. No major issues found. Bacterial blight seems to reappeared after cool and wet weather.
85F
About a half inch with each rain, so about 2 to 3 inches.
Wet
Need to spray fungicide/insecticide on late May planted soybeans but it is too wet.
R3-R4
