Tar spot confirmed in Caldwell County, KY. Our first find in 2023. No management needed with harvest beginning across the state, but if you see something suspicious let us know so we can track it! Shout out to @Agronomist_Whit for finding the disease! @UKExtension @UKAgriculture

@DamonLisch @szintri @Chidu_ullagaddi 🙁 This is making me so glad our little patch is irrigated...we are just growing a wee bit to make more seeds for our experiments. Hope it all gets better soon my field friends!!!

Understand healthy plants so you can see when something is wrong with a field.

Extension has resources to help. Like this one from @KentuckyCrops on corn growth and development: https://t.co/wTyc8ALbr2

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. https://t.co/hQflEdgb08
