2025 Growing Season Update, Disease Triangle, & Field Finds

Hoosier Ag Today Podcast Network

The man, the myth, and the legend returns! Glenn Longabaugh returns to the podcast room with hosts Jeff Jarrett and Sal Sama for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. Of course, Glenn is the Technical Agronomist for Premier Companies, but you may not know he’s practically an expert on suck holes and vole colonies. Glenn will share an update on the current growing season and how the weather conditions have impacted each farmer’s ability to get their fields planted. You’ll also learn why Glenn isn’t worried about the tar spot findings from pathologists and why small plants aren’t great hosts. Sal, Jeff, and Glenn dig into how diseases become epidemics in the reproductive stage and the various stages of the disease triangle and why it should be considered a disease square instead. You’ll also hear about Glenn’s top watchouts given our recent rainfall events and the reasons behind the greensnap corn in Premier’s territory. “I don’t want to condemn this crop… I’m telling you, there’s a lot of potential out there.”
