Chinch Bug Crisis Prompts Iowa Farm Aid Request
Iowa officials urge federal funds to combat chinch bugs in southern counties. Secretary Thornburg and entomologist Drake estimate 150000 to 200000 dollars needed for creosote treatments and pest eradication, with up to 1000000 gallons expected. Federal aid for grasshoppers exists but not for chinch bugs, prompting state action for relief.
