Corn conditions in Indiana are holding steady, according to Purdue University Extension Corn Specialist Dan Quinn.
“Overall, the corn is looking pretty good,” he says.
He tells Brownfield he’s keeping an eye out for diseases.
“The number one (disease) right now is tar spot which has moved in the last couple of years and is prevalent when leaves are continually wet,” he says. “…getting out in fields, scouting for disease pressure, seeing where the disease potentially is, and understanding what the history of diseases in your fields are important.”
Quinn says he’s heard from several farmers who say this year’s corn crop is the best they’ve ever had.
