In today’s YouTube video, we walk through some corn fields scouting for disease pressure. Living in the river bottoms like we do, we are always at risk for gray leaf spot and Northern corn blight.

Miravis Neo helps corn and soybeans stay cleaner and greener through harvest for greater potential yield and ROI.
