Grasshopper activity has been noted this week in Iowa. These insects feed on grasses and weeds, and can become field crops pests.
Although some parts of Iowa have had adequate moisture, other areas could use some rain. Drought stress combined with high temperatures is good news for field crop pests like grasshoppers and spider mites. If your area is hot and dry, consider scouting fields now and throughout August.
