Day two of the Red River Farm Network Crop Tour, presented by Pioneer, made its way through southeastern North Dakota and northeastern South Dakota. The day started day at Oakes, North Dakota at Gerner Ag. Kyle Gerner’s irrigated corn plot was hit by hail August 23. Leaves were stripped, but Gerner remains hopeful about this corn. “There is a little Goss’s Wilt starting to show up. With (hail) injury like this, we’ll see more come in. This was a fairly narrow band of hail, so I don’t see much of a disease hit this year.” Northern Corn Rootworm has been seen in the region. The interview can be found online.
