Although the map shows moderate risk at the moment, the majority of our crop is not flowering. Weather does not look conducive for scab over the next several days. Wheat stages in most varieties range from jointing to boot with a few heading in the southernmost part of the state. The condition of the crop is fair to good. We have seen a lot of herbicide and fertilizer injury up to this point…no rust yet.
