A technical service manager with FMC Corporation is encouraging farmers to keep ’21 insect pressure in mind when planning for next year.
Drake Copeland says farmers saw one of the worst outbreaks of fall army worms on record.
“In August and September it got pretty busy. There was a lot of alfalfa that got sprayed late and then as late as some emerging wheat that people were planting in the fall, so we had some good temperatures for that pest to really thrive in the Midwest,” he says.
