Bryan and Choctaw counties in SE Okla. were confirmed to have soybean rust in soybeans yesterday—making Oklahoma the 8th state to have rust this year and marking the northern-most progression of the disease this year.

It comes on the heels of the news that Little River Parish in SW Arkansas has soybean rust. U.S. total of positive counties and parishes in 2007: 48 in eight states. Last year at this time, there were 26 counties/parishes with soybean rust in five states.
