My wife and I traveled to Carlisle, Penn., to attend her best friend’s wed- ding. The city of about 19,000 is an eight-hour drive, so we decided to make a road trip since it was so Justin “close” to home. Carlisle is located within the Peeper Cumberland Valley in south central Pennsylvania in an agricultural region. The landscape looks like a scene from a Bob Ross painting. Part of the Appalachian Trail — the 2,190- mile hiking path that runs between Georgia and Maine — is located near Carlisle. It would be easy to dedicate today’s article to writing about Carlisle and the sur- rounding area, but we’ll save that topic for an upcoming column. We stayed in a hotel located about 25 minutes from Carlisle and decided to check in before the wedding rehearsal and dinner. My wife checked us in and used her credit card to pay for the room. When I came in a few minutes later, however, the receptionist informed us that my wife’s credit card didn’t go through and that we should try to use the other card reader. Attacking ‘merit’ in the name of I didn’t think much of it at the time and pulled out my credit card to use instead since I was closer to the ‘equity’ is a prescription for mediocrity other reader than she was.

Much of the corn throughout the state has begun to tassel and soybeans are flowering. We are starting to see common diseases in the lower canopy of corn, as we were out scouting this past week. A few diseases that I have seen included gray leaf spot, tar spot, northern corn leaf blight, common rust, and northern corn leaf spot in corn. Diseases in soybean is currently low, but we have found a few frogeye lesions, downy mildew, and brown spot this past week. Since the soybeans are flowering it is time to scout for frogeye leaf spot. Management practices for frogeye are aimed reducing soybean susceptibility and inoculum availability. Infected debris from previous crops is the primary source of inoc- A year in ulum for this disease.

Weather conditions – will there con- tinue to be favorable weather moisture and rain for foliar diseases? And 4. Return on investment – will the yield protected by a fungicide cover the additional cost of the application?
