Iowa folks - we are looking for red crown rot in Iowa. If you see something suspicious this growing season please let me or Daren Mueller know or send samples to the ISU PIDC Iowa State Yard and Garden

CPN has added several new tools and resources since last growing season. If you haven’t visited them recently, do yourself a favor and visit their website.

Does your crop consultant know about CPN? CPN has numerous tools that can help them (and you) make more informed decisions to ensure a successful cropping season. Check. Them. Out.

This front cancelled my swim practice this morning 😔 Hopefully we can still get into the field and inoculate later today #corn #disease

And we think we are intelligent! Biology/nature never cease to amaze me
