What a fun and engaged group y'all are. I took notes on a couple of things to follow up on and wanted to pass them back to RCMG membership.
Thanks for inviting me to speak at your monthly meeting in October!

Lily Leaf Beetle
Cover Crops and Soil Disease
Here are two videos on research done by other extension educators in the Midwest, I really respect both of these people and they do great work. Both these examples are pumpkins but the principles are the same.
Spinach Leafminer
My favorite writeup on this pest is from this big Cornell PDF. Use ctrl+F to find the spinach leafminer section.
Those are the things I noted to follow up on. Let me know if I forgot something that I said I would follow up on.
