With the appearance of late blight spotted in select crops in Adams, WI, area farmers are in desperate need of assistance to halt the spread of this pervasive disease. Allied Cooperative puts to use their decades of agronomy experience to help the farming community devise solutions for this issue as well as many others directly impacting the industry.

Originating in 1917, Allied Cooperative is now a trusted resource in Adams as well as a number of surrounding communities, including Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin Dells, West Salem, Tomah, Plover, Plainfield, Mindoro, Melrose, Mauston, Galesville, Blair, and Arcadia. While this collective of dedicated farmers offers assistance for a range of farming needs, the occurrence of late blight is of particular concern for many in the community.

Late blight also affects tomato crops. Fungal spores have been known to wipe out entire fields in just three weeks, as they are easily spread via wind and rain, machinery, wildlife, and even farm workers themselves. As a result, all farms in the surrounding areas are left vulnerable to infection.

Properly identifying and treating late blight is essential to stemming the damage. To this end, Allied Cooperative will assist farmers in devising a workable plan of attack to prevent late blight from becoming an epidemic. If left unchecked, late blight can deprive a farm of an entire season's worth of income.
