Battle grows in Saskatchewan army worm outbreak
The Saskatchewan agriculture department appealed for more aircraft to spray bertha army worms devastating rapeseed across about one million acres from Hudson Bay to Nipawin and Prince Albert. Officials warn of dangerous Lannate handling while federal bans limit alternatives and aircraft are tied to forest fire duties. Farmers report up to 70 to 100 worms per square yard as fleets of planes from Regina and beyond coordinate efforts with help from Bismarck.
