Mike and the Kevins are Kick' N It this episode, talking about what they are seeing in corn and soybean fields. Diseases have been pretty minor so far, but insects have been prevalent with lots of adult beetles to keep an eye on. As tassel approaches, it’s time to start thinking about fungicide applications. Leaves may be clean now, but with the humid mornings, those plants may not be healthy as they progress. The group also talks about the hail damage to crops in Nebraska and water usage.
