Chinch bugs move from grass to grain crops in farms
Chinch bugs are leaving hibernation in bunch grass and migrating to small grain crops. Plant corn and grain sorghums far from small grains to avoid infestation while cotton and legumes are less affected and should be planted next to grains. Illinois and Oklahoma have resistant corn strains. Use chinch bug creosote oil barriers to control migrants and inspect fields for pest buildup.
