Listen "Calm before the (or a) storm?"
Episode Synopsis
It's a low-key episode that features new intro and outro-music and a new pest noted in our round up (grasshoppers).
Erin's had a long week talking about corn rootworms. We recap the current insect species occuring in soybean fields (grasshoppers, Japanese beetles, soybean aphids, a mix of caterpillars). Some pests are no longer present on the plants as the second generation is developing as immature stages in the soil. These are gall midges and bean leaf beetles. Matt tries to bring her spirits up with two trivia question. The first is a bit silly, noting the music videos on youtube that have been viewed over one billion times. The second question is a FIT that Erin gets immediately. Erin's on a roll.
see you next week, and as always, consider scouting your fields.
