The last field was planted which brings the total to 19. No fields received any rainfall over the past week.  Jefferson, Phillips and Lincoln received initial irrigations with a few others that should be irrigated over the weekend.  Stink bugs, mostly greens, are starting to show up at very low levels. However, several egg masses were observed so populations should build quickly.  Earworms are present in some fields but below threshold. Refer to table below for field specific information.
