Grasshoppers threaten county crops amid hot dry weather
Grasshoppers damage crops in parts of the county and could worsen with continuing heat. Levels of eight to ten per square yard are damaging, three to four per yard can injure gardens and field borders. Control tips include toxaphene, malathion, diazinon, and sevin with label restrictions. Bagworm infestations rise on evergreens and deciduous trees, squash bugs appear in gardens, and heat stress endangers livestock and pets in sunlit cabs.

Rabbit in the bin confounds Ottawa farmer
Charles Redman of Ottawa Rural Fire Department 4 recounts discovering a sixth “kitten” in a litter that turned out to be a tiny rabbit nursing a mother cat. The creature vanished after three days, leading Redman to suspect the cat may have eaten it. The kittens remain active but confined to a vegetable bin. Two new AMAA registration programs aim to formalize Brahman-Maine Anjou and Black Angus-Maine Anjou cattle crosses with details to be announced.
