Southern Rust caught a lot of corn producers off guard late last season. So, what should be on your radar in 2026? We recently caught up with UNL Extension Plant Pathologist Tamra Jackson-Ziems to talk about the disease pressure she's watching this year.

Grain Markets | Doug Simon
Grain markets are working through a mix of steady fundamentals and some outside pressure this week. The latest WASDE report was quiet, with few major changes to the balance sheets.

To help us break it down, we're joined by Doug Simon with Tredas.
