Hay
and pasture land plays a vital role in beef production; it not only
represents an investment in time and management, but a significant
financial investment as well. Pest control is an important part of
forage management that often gets overlooked until it is too late.
Certain pests, like the armyworms, can cause significant financial
losses. Even though outbreaks are difficult to predict, infestations
seem to occur in portions of the county every year. The purpose of
the armyworm alert system is to notify producers of outbreaks in the
county so they can scout their pastures and hay fields and treat
when necessary. For more information about the program, please
contact the Logan County Extension office at 479-963-2360.
