Soybean rust disease is new to the U.S.
The disease thrives when it is warm and moist and causes premature leaf loss which leads to a smaller number of bean pods, fewer seeds per pods and reduced yield.
The spores travel on the wind until they are killed by exposure to the sun or washed out by rain. If the spores land on a soybean plant or another host plant, they can take hold and reproduce and spread again.
Fungicide can help reduce the damage, but when left uncontrolled can cause extreme damage to the plants.

Hey Papito-
Thank you most gratefully for the info and the link. I am currently checking more into it and other possible soybean diseases. It may not be rust after all (the brown now seems to be primarily on the latter half of the leaves and I don't think the spots are raised)
May you always have the garden of your dreams~
