Been watching for Sugar Cane Aphids in my Johnson Grass hay patch. Checked a couple of days ago and saw nothing. Checked today and they were all throughout the patch, maybe a percent or two.....got them before they could get established.
Went back to the barn, got my cutter out and whacked it down. Really didn't want to do that because I wanted to seed the lot with tops since I am just now getting it established.....butttt didn't want Aphids to ruin a nice patch and didn't want to spray poison on something somebody is going to feed their animals.
----------------
While on the subject, anybody have any problems with feeding a hay crop with light infestation? If so, mind passing on what happened.
Thanks,
Mark
