NCLB absent in fungicide trials in SE Iowa

I have just got back from the ISU Southeast Research Farm near Crawfordsville.  I was assessing my Cardinal fungicide trial.  With all the reports of northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) in SE IA I decided it was probably worth the drive to get some "disease at VT" data. 

The crop in the trial was at R1.  It was hot.  Pollen was shedding.  The perfect time to spend a few hours wandering through a corn field.  Foliar fungicide treatments had been applied last week (VT) and some plots had applications at V5-V6.
