About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of severe weather on agriculture, focusing on nitrogen loss, disease management, and hail damage in the Midwest.

Back in May, much of the Corn Belt was begging for rain. Now? Not so much. Frequent and heavy rain are causing challenges across the central Midwest. On today's podcast, the Wyffels Agronomy Team discusses nitrogen loss, fungicide decisions, hail damage, and disease watch-outs.
