Thank you to all who attended the Colorado Wheat Field Days! We certainly lucked out with the weather, and it was great to see you all again.
DISEASE OBSERVATIONS
Stripe rust
Stripe rust has been spotted at very low incidence and severity in Kit Carson, Adams, Arapahoe, Weld, Sedgewick, Yuma, and Washington counties (Figure 1). While the weather in Colorado has been conducive to stripe rust disease development, I anticipate that the spore levels will remain low and should not cause widespread disease.
