Frank Comments on Rains and Crop Prospects
The writer notes welcomed rains improving crop prospects while warning about black cut worms damaging corn stands. Extension entomologist Dr Gunderson questions late-season control, but endorses Heptachlor or Aldrin at 2 lbs per acre if applied in April or early May to curb the pest. Also promotes Sudan grass seeding and premium twine options with a money-back guarantee.
