🌱 Red rot alert

Powell • September 3, 2025

Local Brew Logo
​

Good morning, Powell. A devastating agricultural threat has silently arrived in Ohio that farmers can't afford to ignore. Red crown rot, a fungal disease capable of destroying up to 80% of soybean yields, has been discovered in our state's most valuable crop. With Ohio's vast soybean acreage at risk, agricultural experts are urging immediate vigilance through equipment sanitation and crop rotation to combat this nearly irremovable pathogen that lurks beneath the soil.

While farmers tackle this challenge, Marysville City Council convenes today at 6 p.m. to discuss critical zoning changes for East development, with public attendance encouraged at the Police and Court Facility. On the tastier side of local news, burger enthusiasts can celebrate as Bareburger's newest location opens its doors at Easton Gateway this week, adding another dining option to the popular shopping district's evolving restaurant scene.

🌱 Deadly soybean disease discovered in Ohio threatens massive crop losses. Red crown rot, caused by the soil-borne fungus Calonectria ilicicola, can slash yields by up to 80% in severely affected fields. Once established, this pathogen is nearly impossible to eradicate, making integrated management crucial for Ohio's top crop by acreage and value. The disease causes red-orange discoloration at the stem crown and produces small red fungal fruiting bodies, often being mistaken for other soybean diseases. Experts urge farmers to check vulnerable areas, sanitize equipment, and implement practices like crop rotation to limit its spread.
