Though disease pressure was low in 2022, what can growers anticipate for the 2023 growing season? Will Tar Spot continue to be a concern for area corn growers? She will answer these questions and share updates on diseases like Tar Spot. It was low in our region though still a problem in areas of the Midwest in 2022.
