‘Today, I hope …’

Today I hope you’ll join with me in acknowledging guys like my sometimes not-so-lucky friend ‘John’. John wouldn’t hurt a housefly but one afternoon he tangled with the wrong guy and fell victim to robbery and minor bodily injury.

Whoosh, they were gone. Loss of his worldly goods and a black eye too, seemed hardly fair.

Hessian fly outbreak plagues winter wheat growers in Bonners Ferry

An outbreak of Hessian fly-caused yield losses in winter wheat, the main cash grain crop in our region, is plaguing our wheat growers. The fly lays its eggs in fall or spring, and the larvae feed on the base of the plant, reducing yields and weakening the stems, which causes extensive lodging. Historically, Hessian fly has not been a problem in winter wheat, thus few resistant varieties have not been developed for winter wheat as they have been for spring wheat. Dr. Kurt Schroeder will be discussing this issue, which he’s only observed in this region, as well as other current topics affecting wheat and barley producers at this year’s grain commission-sponsored Cereal School.
