Tar spot confirmed in NE KS. Southern rust isn't here yet. Time to scout #corn for foliar diseases and review fungicide strategies. Timing matters! Details: bit.ly/4n8RBsK #ksag @rodrigobonofre

Lodged #wheat? Storm damage? • #Harvest slower, maybe perpendicular. • Use crop lifters or stripper headers. • Avoid delays - test weight, mold & sprouting risks rise fast. Don’t forget post-harvest volunteer wheat control. bit.ly/45y0y8J

Field bindweed is a tough perennial weed that can slash #crop yields by up to 80%. Single herbicide applications won't cut it; long-term, integrated mgmt is key. Learn more: bit.ly/44cD1sK #ksag #weedcontrol

Recent rains have some KS #soybean producers planting late or considering replanting. Replant only if stands are less than 50-60K/acre or poor uniformity. Planting adjustments will be needed as well. See this article for info: bit.ly/3TljYX3 #ksag

First tar spot of the 2025 season confirmed in NE Kansas. Scouting now is critical. Check both leaf surfaces for raised, black lesions. Don't wait for upper canopy symptoms. #tarspot #corn #ksag bit.ly/4mVxHlb
