It's still dry, insects are active, and Matt is talking about pollinators

Published: July 6, 2021, 10:45 p.m.

The 4th of July weekend delayed Matt posting this podcast.

\nWe talk about pests: corn rootworms, japanese beetles, and soybean aphdis. The dry weather is making people worried about two-spotted spider mites, so we talk a bit about that.

\nMatt gives shares a "Fun (?) Insect Trivia" question about the conservation reserve practice described as "Pollinator Habitat" or CP42.  Some new analysis of where CP42 is located in Iowa is the source of this question.

\nWe talk a bit about how and where this conservation practice is placed in Iowa farm land.
