Early Worm Gets The Corn
In Iowa, it's time to start scouting for stalk corn borer in the south and will be next week in the north. We're that far ahead in growing degree days.

Re: Early Worm Gets The Corn
Jim,
You hit it on the head. Jeff Caldwell has pieced together information on expected bug pressure. We were told last week, by an Illinois crop consultant that farmers should be scouting hard this year. By the way, we would love to hear what folks are finding out there. Once you scout, could you share with others? That might help some folks save on spraying costs and ultimately yield loss.
