With rain and warm temperatures in the forecast, risk to scab is moderate in headed and flowering wheat; however, farmers are probably trying to decide whether or not to put anymore money in the crop after the freeze on Sunday/Monday. Lots of wheat in the state was at boot or later and temperatures got down in the upper 20s across wheat areas. We will know the extent of the damage in the coming week or two.
