IARN — If it isn’t one thing, it is another. In a year where we must get every bushel squeezed from our fields, we don’t have any room for error. One cornbelt entomologist is seeing signs and conditions that point to some armyworm infestations possibly springing up in midwestern fields.
Nick Seiter is an entomologist at the University of Illinois. He talks about the armyworms and their migration into the Midwest from the south, which begins in late April, and comes to a head about now.
