Corn Earworm
An active weather pattern is predicted to continue for the next five days across much of the corn-growing region. Persistent south to southwest winds in between low pressure across the Northern Plains region and high pressure in the eastern United States along with potential precipitation episodes that may serve as insect drop zones results in a Low risk of corn earworm migration from Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Tennessee to as far north as Minnesota, Wisconsin, and southwest Michigan for the next three nights. Corn earworms have been caught in southern source regions (portions of Texas and Arkansas) in the past week to ten days so while it is still very early in the growing season, be aware that some isolated moth flights may still occur despite crops not being at a stage where damage could occur.
