Americans are eating more beef than everโ€”and thatโ€™s GREAT news! For too long, the Biden Administration waged a war on cattle and American agriculture, undermining the farmers and ranchers who feed our country. @POTUS is putting our ranchers FIRST and rebuilding Americaโ€™s cattle herd and food supply. For the first time since 2018, cattle numbers are moving UPโ€”and ranchers are retaining heifers at higher rates. We cannot be truly free if we cannot feed and fuel ourselves. America will NEVER depend on foreign nations for our food. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿฅฉ

It takes me a bit to calibrate. When I 1st found the leaf in photo 1, thought it was Gray Leaf Spot, but then I held it up to light and saw the yellow halo photo 2. Was sure it was Bacterial Leaf Streak, which isn't managed w/ fungicide. Thanks @alisonrISU for confirmation.
