Farmers on Borer Powder Keg in Fayette County
Farmers face a high corn borer threat in Fayette County based on the fall count of 1,004 borers per 100 stalks. County Extension Director M C Wangsness cites a tenfold rise from last year and notes neighboring counties also show high levels. Weather and spring egg-laying could curb pests, but farmers must adopt chemical treatments alongside plowing and stalk crushers to prevent losses.
