On Tuesday's AOA, we start the show with a look at news headlines including the latest on a potential Canadian rail strike and what the National Grain and Feed Association is saying about the impact it could have on North American agriculture. In Segment Two, we talk with Dr. C.D. Cruz from Purdue University about new tar spot research that his team has been working on.  You can view their findings online here:  https://apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/PDIS-02-20-0449-FE?_ga=2.29840631.971845228.1723050317-996601114.1723049325 In Segment Three, we have a conversation about sustainable aviation fuel and get perspective from the airline industry.
