Several labs in the Midwest have been monitoring the distribution of soybean gall midge in Iowa since 2018. Last year, we sampled many counties in western Iowa but only confirmed three new counties. This year, we focused on the counties just east of the distribution in 2021 and were able to confirm eight new counties in Iowa that had soybean gall midge: Humboldt, Kossuth, Palo Alto, Pocahontas, Polk, Ringgold, Warren, and Webster (Figure 1).
