Time to start scouting for tar spot in Indiana, especially after recent rains. Send leaf samples to @PurduePPDL free of charge courtesy of our project with @INCornFarmers
Tar spot confirmed n recent days n NW Missouri, central Iowa, & now northeast Kansas (not on map yet). Look out Nebraska, scout higher risk fields esp with pivot irrigation & tar spot history. Please send samples @UNLPlantClinic
