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...
Congratulations!!!!!
Big congrats to Alison Robertson @alisonrISU. 2023 APS Fellow. Such a pleasure to be your colleague. @PlantPathISU
