Corn and wheat also have taken a beating – but specialists believe the Louisiana cotton crop may have weathered the storm. Double-digit rainfall was recorded in many areas of the state over the past couple of weeks, and totals exceeding 20 inches were seen in some places. Observers even reported as much as 24-27 inches in spots. - Full Content set to .]]></description>

In some years it is an economic pest on corn and grain sorghum, especially if high populations migrate into these crops in the early spring when plants are young. To prevent stand loss and yield reductions, it is important to understand the biology and behavior of this pest as it relates to corn and grain sorghum. - Full Content set to .]]></description>
