Tar spot has already been confirmed in multiple states, including Iowa, earlier than many agronomists expected. In this episode, Dan Bjorklund sits down with Kade Schmidt of Intelinair, the technology company behind SkyScout, to discuss what they're seeing across the Corn Belt and what it could mean for the rest of the growing season.

The conversation covers early disease detection, how thermal imagery and field analytics are helping identify issues before they're visible from the road, and why current weather conditions have both agronomists and farmers paying close attention. Dan and Kade also discuss fungicide timing, nutrient loss concerns following heavy rainfall, and the value of targeted scouting throughout the season.

Topics include:

• Early tar spot detections across Iowa and the Midwest
• How SkyScout identifies disease pressure and crop stress
• Fungicide timing and ROI considerations
• Nitrogen and sulfur loss after excessive rainfall
• Thermal imagery, NDVI, and scouting strategies
• What growers should be watching for over the next several weeks
