Soybean leaf munchers - they are there too - Bean leaf beetles, Japanese beetles, grasshoppers - generally at low levels too, but early planted soybeans (May) do have a few more holes - watch these beans for pod feeding and then treat if they get too high.
Western bean cutworm - haven't seen any in 3 weeks.
Corn rootworm - low levels - such as 1/5 per day or less - so I expect no CRW troubles for next year (so far).
Gray leafspot - is slowly creeping up the plants, but so slow it won't affect the crop.
Northern corn leaf blight - at low levels except in some isolated hybrids - choose well next year, this disease ain't gone yet.
Frogeye - we have some, but it appears in isolated areas by variety - make sure next year to get Frogeye resistant varieties.
Corn - some early crop is starting to dent - all is moving faster than you think it should. While it suffers from some dryness, I think we will have an average crop, just not up to the last three years yield.
Soybeans - also look better than expected - some early planted beans are FULL of pods and will do well, but most are June planted, and still looking good. I now think we will be in the mid-40 bu/A with continued rains.
