Iowa Farmers Use Poison Bran to Battle Grasshoppers
Iowa farmers used 6756 tons of poison bran to control grasshoppers in 1935. Dr. G J Drake estimates about 950000 dollars in crops saved, while total crop damage reached 624000 dollars. Alfalfa losses were around 525000 dollars. He notes late June and July rains hindered poisoning efforts and forecasts a potentially severe grasshopper year unless weather improves.
