EC Nebraska | My Grandpa might beg to differ about rust not destroying crops, even back in the 1930's. It was wheat and what he called black rust back then, but it was bad some years. And he never took crop insurance.
As for soybeans aphids, yeah, they weren't in the US until around 2000 and our ecosystem here has adapted to them. They're here, you can find them if you look hard enough, but they're never a problem. Not since 2008 or so.
Corn rootworm weren't a problem before BT corn? Say what now? Did you farm before Bt corn? We didn't use furdan for the fun of it back then!! | |
