April 23rd: April Newsletter
April 13th: Entomologists are predicting that insects could be a larger problem than normal this year. Additionally, just as wheat is thriving early, so, too, are weeds, especially winter annuals that did not die during the winter. It is still too early, however, to tell which insects and diseases will be dominant this spring, so it is crucial for farmers to pay close attention to their fields.
