Episode 161: A Conversation on Corn

from The Food Fix Hosted by The Food Fix

Tar spots are a big problem for corn! A fungal disease that damages the plant and reduces crop yield. Luckily, science is on the case! This week we hear from Professor Addie Thompson from the Thompson Maize Lab at Michigan State University about her research in corn tar spots and why corn is the cream of the crop.
