Near record precipitation likely to bring along disease

Michigan’s wheat crop is starting the growing season much better than in 2022.

Trevor Kraus, Technical Service Representative, with BASF tells Brownfield condition is ahead of last year.

“Which I think kind of surprised me because I think we’ve had the second most amount of rainfall in March in history in Michigan,” he says.

He says as the crop is greening up, the added moisture is also ideal for more leaf diseases.
