Southeast Colorado | Speaking of grasshoppers in the Great Plains..........I've mentioned this before but this looks like a good place to bring it up again.
Back in my youth in the 70s, they got so bad here that the govt sprayed them. If you could get the majority of the land owners within the township to agree then they'd spray over that 6 mile square with one of the two B-52s they brought. Sprayed most of the 23,000 acre squares around my county. That was really cool as a kid watching and hearing the deep roar of those planes all day. With everyone's fear of chemicals I'd bet they couldn't pull one of those things off today! Well, maybe if this massive locust swarm shows up you'd hear calls for it again. | |
