For the elite athletes in the WNBA, spending the offseason playing in Russia can mean earning more money than they can make back home — sometimes even two or three times as much. But those who have done that also describe the loneliness of being away from family and friends, of struggling with an unfamiliar language and culture, and of living in a place with only a few hours of sunlight in the winter and temperatures well below freezing.

Sexual harassment – of both men and women – can be a serious issue in agriculturals settings, especially in large scale farming operations. In Washington State, where large scale operations are common, a groundswell of concern about identifying sexual harassment, giving victims resources for resolving the behavior, and providing training tools for employers so they can recognize and confront sexual harassment in their workplace led to development of that state’s “!BASTA! Prevent Sexual Harassment in Agriculture.” More than 60 agribusinesses and multiple governmental agencies supported and contributed to development of the training manual.

As temperatures rise, humans and animals become meal tickets for ticks. Heartland disease, an emerging infectious disease first found in northwestern Missouri in 2009, is another reason to take precautions against ticks, says University of Missouri horticulture specialist and entomologist Tamra Reall.
Tar spot is a fungal disease of corn which appeared in the United States in Illinois and Indiana in 2015. It was found in the northeast corner of Missouri in 2019, and is moving south and west each year. Currently, it is also confirmed in Iowa, Nebraska and Kentucky. Spots resembling tar, appear as raised, circular or elliptical spots (called stromata) on corn leaves, husks and stalks. A tan halo, also called a fish-eye lesion, may appear around the black spot. The lesion looks similar to insect frass (excrement) and other diseases like late season common or southern rust. When scratched with a fingernail, the spot does not come off of the leaf, whereas insect frass and rust pustules will. Tar spot stromata may appear on either side of the leaf, but they do not break through the leaf surface, so each individual lesion will only be on one side of the leaf.
