Hoopla: hoop·la (hoop'lä', hoop'-) n. Informal
     1. Boisterous, jovial commotion or excitement.
     2. Extravagant publicity:
     3. Talk intended to mislead or confuse.

hoopla. Dictionary.com. The American HeritageŽ Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. Houghton Mifflin Company, 2004. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hoopla (accessed: July 13, 2007).

ased on the heated discussions overheard at the counter down at the Chat 'n Chew Cafe,interest in fungicide applications on field corn is at an all-time high this summer. The nature of the "hoopla" over corn fungicides runs the gamut of the various definitions of the word if you listen long enough to the debates.

If you've been watching the aerial applicators at work in your neighborhood and are wondering whether you should jump on the bandwagon, I've compiled a few links to recent Web articles from university Extension specialists that may shed a proverbial "third party" perspective on the subject.
