Barley field near Marquette fell victim to hungry grasshoppers, over the span of only a few days. Conditions can change quickly in a drought, especially as neighbouring crops and ditches are harvested for forage. Contact us for help on scouting and control options!

Curtis came across a lot of blister beetles today. Usually not a concern in crops. Their primary feed source is grasshopper eggs, so we hope they’re hungry!
