The expected spread of soybean rust is now taking place, and you can follow 
the epidemic by visiting the following web site. http://www.sbrusa.net/

The IPPC is developing tools that permit weather patterns and pest and 
disease outbreak risk information to be mapped nationally, and you might 
also like to visit our web site occasionally, to see how these are 
developing and expanding in scope. Over the coming year, you can expect to 
see additional weather data, pertaining to disease risk, and some 
forecasting capability. The link is: http://pnwpest.org/wea/ . NB. If you 
are generating maps via this web site, you may have to try a few times to 
make a connection when the server is busy.
