>>>First soybean rust of season found in central Iowa -- farthest north ever in U.S.<<<

Asian soybean rust was found Tuesday and confirmed today in a soybean field in Dallas County in central Iowa. This is quite a jump north from the recent Midwest finds of rust in southern Kansas, Missouri and Illinois, and is now the northernmost find ever in the United States. There are now 144 U.S. counties and parishes with soybean rust in 14 states -- vs. 81 in only 8 states on this date last year.
