SDSU Extension to Host Corn Disease Scouting Workshop

South Dakota State University Extension will host a scouting session for corn diseases confirmed in the state this season.

The Corn Disease Scouting Session is from 10 a.m. to noon CDT on Sept. 25, 2025, at the SDSU Northeast Research Farm by South Shore. Registration is not required, and attendees can come and go any time during this free event.

Join the SDSU Extension plant pathology team to see tar spot, southern rust, northern corn leaf blight and other disease in the corn field, or to have your own diseased plant material identified.

“Come along and scout the field with us,” said Connie Strunk, SDSU Extension Plant Pathology Field Specialist. “Stay as long as your schedule allows.”
