Update from the field....

Many prairie growers have a cutworm or armyworm story of woe but this time around growers on Vancouver Island near Port Alberni contended with an unusual pest - True armyworm (Mythimna unipuncta) in high densities were eating up hay fields and pasture!  Thanks to Tracy Hueppelsheuser with the BC Ministry of Agriculture who shared this CTV news clip.

Remember the NEW Cutworm Field Guide is free and downloadable in 2017!
