Excessive rains in Ohio could be problematic for the state’s wheat crop which is just breaking dormancy.
“There’s a lot of water sitting out there.”
Alice Harris, Technical Service Representative with BASF tells Brownfield, “You can get spots in the fields that do tend to die off, also having cooler, wet conditions can really start some early season diseases like Septoria or some of the molds.”
Harris also worries the warmup in the forecast could cause rapid wheat development when fields are still too wet to access.
