This has been a big year for insect pressure. “It’s been huge,” reports Jesse Moch, district sales lead, Pioneer. “It’s been aphids, it’s been clover worms, it’s bean leaf beetles, it’s been grasshoppers, it’s been spider mites.” Moch says most farmers have made at least one trip across the field to address the bug issue.
