Hessian fly threats loom in Illinois wheat fields
Our Farm Bureau notes Hessian fly presence in about fifty winter wheat fields with only two untouched by the pest. Damage ranges from negligible to 90 percent, with spring brood causing most harm as grain ripens. Late planting offers little protection if fall brood lodges in nearby fields. The Farm Bureau will push for a safe planting date to limit losses. Canada Thistle control is urged under state law with a plan to eradicate by preventing green growth, emphasizing active removal this week.
