Be sure what is in (or not in!) your fungicide surfactant!
Some individuals are calling for fungicide applications to begin now...
Prior to tassel fungicide applications made with a surfactant must be APE/NPE FREE!!!
If your surfactant has APE/NPE in them, a before tassel application could likely result in arrested ear syndrome, causing very large yield losses!!!
Be sure to check what you are applying if you are going before tassel!
On a side note, I do not feel fungicide applications should begin now in the geography that I cover.

One more taste of July this week, followed by an inevitable temperature recession. Early October boating gives way to heavy jackets by mid-month

Southern rust doesn't stand a chance. Aproach® Prima fungicide kept this field clean and green (bottom) vs. the untreated top portion.

Ask and ye shall receive, @JonathanMikk
Growing season precip both in % of normal & ranking of the past 133 years
Rain makes grain in the Western #corn belt!
Also important to note the overwhelming majority of production areas saw a top 3rd growing season in terms of precip

This is a great visual and read as to why you need to use adjuvents - and the correct ones.

While most of the fungicide applications are finished... here is the latest Corteva Disease Prediction Model..

1-3" rain yesterday for much of the metro, a few 4-5" reports around Maple Grove. Numerous 4" rains (a month's worth) closer to St. Cloud, Paynesville and Belgrade. Looked like Tropical Storm Tim out there...
The drought is still over 🙄

Just light showers today but a continuous conga-line of heavier T-storms setting up tonight through Saturday afternoon. Axis of heaviest rain right over the metro where some 2-4" amounts are possible by Saturday night. Arrowhead (flooding now) should avoid heaviest rainfall amts

A lot of rain fell overnight! If encountering any flooded areas this morning, remember to use caution and turn around, don't drown🌧️#mnwx #wiwx
ALT Estimated 24 hour rainfall across portions of Minnesota and Wisconsin, with a widespread area of 3+ inches stretching from southern Renville county to Goodhue county in Minnesota. This is the primary area for flooding concerns this morning. A secondary map shows the river level observations for Little Cannon River (near Dennison in Goodhue county) rising nearly 8 feet overnight.

Rainfall map from the past week. Most locations received 1.5"-3.5", with locally higher amounts. Thank you to our volunteer COOP and @CoCoRaHS observers for the rainfall measurements!
Check out how the rainfall has impacted area rivers here: water.noaa.gov/wfo/mpx

December #corn futures highs since 2000. Something to keep in mind as we move further into spring.

We've seen a bit more rain than most of us are probably used to over the last 48-hours. At least for this summer... 🏜️
Additional rain chances today (in our east) and Sunday (area-wide) should also provide a little more drought relief. #mnwx #wiwx
