Missouri Insect War Looks Mild Despite Journal Claims
Missouri reports limited crop damage from insects despite a Wall Street Journal piece warning of vast losses. State Agriculture Commissioner L. C. Carpenter and entomologist Julius Anderson reject the contention, noting ample green growth and favorable conditions curtail pest impact. They say Missouri farmers typically face insect issues yearly but current conditions leave crops largely unscathed.
