Warm winter brings pest warning for farmers across regions
The milder winter allowed insects to survive and grow, threatening crops come spring. Cranberry grower Dawn Allen plans early bog sweeps for winter moth caterpillars, while UMass researchers expect earlier and increased spraying. Beekeepers note winter activity in some hives, and entomologists warn pests like bean leaf beetle, corn flea beetle, and alfalfa weevil may gain head starts as ground burrowers remain less affected. Snow scarcity may further stress some species.
