Every year, farmers deal with unique crop issues from planting season to harvest. While many of those issues are contained within that crop year, some issues can carry over into the next. Bryant Luers, field agronomist with AgriGold, said the heavy rain from this year might cause some diseases to carry over into 2027.
Luers said the rain also washed away a lot of soil nitrogen, which can obviously be an issue for next year as well.
While there are disease concerns for next year, Luers said he wouldn’t call any of this year’s disease pressure “extreme.”
Luers added that farmers should keep an eye on stalk quality as they continue to harvest corn fields and make those weaker acres a priority.
