Strange Malady Damaging Corn in Dallas County
Iowa State College plant specialists and the state department of agriculture investigated a strange malady striking Dallas County corn. Edgar Llewellyn reports 80 acres lost on his Waukee farm, with scattered affected fields up to 8 or 10 miles away. Officials consider quarantine, while noting the issue may be insect, disease, or fungus related and that moisture levels in affected areas are adequate. The mortality rate reaches about 80 percent in affected fields.
