Glenn is back! Glenn Longabaugh is our resident agronomist at Premier Companies, and he joins hosts Sal Sama and Ryan Priest in the podcast room for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies to discuss all things agronomy.
Sal, Ryan, and Glenn will discuss our latest pathogen, tar spot, including what it is, how it got here, and how we treat corn crops with fungicide. You’ll also learn about how our treatment of southern rust has helped farmers in Southern Indiana mitigate the spread of tar spot. He’ll dig into how the recommendations of treatment have changed over the course of time as we learn more about pathogens and how they mature and spread. For those listeners who are not growers, he’ll also share some insight on the amount of money that a farmer has invested per acre. If you’re concerned about tar spot, grab your pen and paper, because this is an episode you’re not going to want to miss!

The High Ground – powered by Premier Companies will discuss everything from agriculture to energy. Hosted by Ryan Priest (COO of Premier Companies) and Sal Sama (VP of Agronomy Sales & Marketing).
Does xyway figure in this protection program? We are planning on 300 acres notil corn after corn.
Absolutely Tom, I would suggest that Xyway applied at planting at the 15 oz use rate would be as good or better than a V stage application keeping the plant as disease free as possible up to an R stage application. The only thing you might give up is that Strobilurin effect that you would get with most V stage applications.
You could recover that with a stroby in a herbicide or nutritional application or by using a plant growth regulator like Ascend SL.
Great question, I hope this helps you manage your biggest crop ever!
