The University of Minnesota Extension is offering a series of Small Grains Update meetings and webinars around the state through February. Regional Extension Integrated Pest Management Educator Anthony Hanson says knowing what pests are in your fields is critical to knowing how to treat the problem. “Part of integrated pest management is scouting and it’s very important. The University of Minnesota has student workers go out to take a closer look to get an assessment of what’s happening in different areas of the state.” Looking ahead, moisture going into spring will make 2022 much different than 2021. “A wet spring would help with pests like grasshoppers. It’s not a guarantee, but the risks may be lower.”
