Crop Update - June 20, 2008

Scattered rains last week were a blessing to many farmers. This past week the farmers have been battling the worms. There are a number of fields scattered across the belt with corn ear worms and tobacco budworms feeding on the foliage of the smallest peanuts. Karate or Mustang Max is fine for corn ear worms but you need Tracer or Lannate for the Tobacco budworms. Most growers have applied paraquat and butoxone across their peanuts and began their first fungicide spray. The rain chance is good for this weekend, hopefully everyone will get a shower.
