Irrigation continues to be the main focus in the program. The recent rainfall and cloudy conditions in parts of the state has sparked some disease development in some of the fields, thus requiring fungicide applications.

Irrigation efforts continue as quickly as possible. In a couple of situations, we are behind on irrigation timing and frequency due to shared wells. Forecasted temperatures well in excess of the 100 degree mark and no rain in the forecast is making it difficult to keep up with plants water requirements. None of the

Growers are trying to apply timely nitrogen applications, but intermittent rainfall has delayed most applications. Stripe rust was first identified in Cross county a couple of weeks ago, but as of this
