From the sounds and looks of things, Coshocton County's crops are doing okay heading into harvest season - especially compared to others across the state.
Last week I wrapped up all of my insect scouting...here's a recap of what I found.
Western Bean Cutworm (WBC): none found this year (thankfully), learn more about WBC
Western Corn Rootworm (WCR): 56 total trapped, not even close to threshold, make sure you're planting rootworm resistant varieties, learn more about WCR
European Corn Borer (ECB): many, many trapped, we stopped counting...of course, we pretty much knew they were here, but Extension hadn't officially documented them, just be sure you're planting resistant or transgenic varieties, learn more about ECB

More rain last week was helpful...
Last week's inch or so of rain was appreciated across the county. Sounds like most everyone east of I 71 got a good drenching rain and if the weather forecast holds true, we'll get more toward the end of the week.
Not much to report on the crop side other than what I've noted earlier...
