Grasshopper Pests Report From Colorado Survey
Officials led by Chancellor Snow and Prof. Popenoe report grasshopper damage limited to a narrow Lincoln County area in eastern Colorado. Most crops remain unscathed. only fodder sorghum fields show minor beak-like damage while corn, sugar cane, and potato vines largely escape harm.
