Corn almost tasseling, wheat pretty much ripe, and beans flowering away. Beautiful Bruce County.

Remember to scout for tar spot in your corn, especially in early-planted fields or those with disease history. Use the Crop Risk Tool for weather-based forecasting: buff.ly/G3z6DXt

Awesome job by @sprucedaleag spreader and sprayer operators, can hardly find a bean or stalk of corn driven down.
