As the calendar flips from June to July, things are looking mostly good across the Corn Belt.

But that doesn't mean we can let our guard down. Tar spot is popping up across the region and it's time to consider how you're going to protect your yield potential during the heart of the growing season.

On today's podcast, the Wyffels Agronomy team talks plant health, disease control, and protecting your corn's yield.
