Pest Patrol
Occasionally, urgent pest issues come up between WCU postings. You can get such alerts when they are recorded as a text that will send you to a 2-4 minute voice recording. This is a free service sponsored by Syngenta. Last year alerts went out for alfalfa weevil, corn earworm, stink bugs, slugs, seedcorn maggot, cucumber beetle, and others. You can find more information here: https://www.syngenta-us.com/pest-patrol
