A warm, wet spring has created near-ideal conditions for several damaging insects across parts of Texas, said an AgriLife Extension expert.

I had a few people call yesterday asking about these little bugs. This is in an old world bluestem I’ve been babying in my back yard for years because it’s a fantastic grass with deep roots that allow water to percolate deep into the soil, great for capturing carbon, great for hay and have a large seed that’s great for birds. You probably won’t believe me but about two weeks ago I saw the first covey of quail that I have seen in our area in 46 years. These little bugs smoked approximately 50 acres of it around my house within two months. Symptoms include yellow then purple leaves that rapidly turn into a dead plant. Hopefully nature balances itself out as it did with the corn leaf aphids. Ladybugs rapidly took out the aphids. Hopefully nature has a counterpunch for mealybugs. They are introduced from Australia so I’m assuming this is the insect world equivalent of native Americans seeing the first of the wild horses introduced to the Americas by Christopher Columbus! Off label insecticides take out the good guys too. It’s advised to not use in most literature I read.

G90 sweet corn is looking good this year! We’ll be eating good in a couple weeks! Stay tuned because if I can get my three row corn puller (my kids) up and running we’ll have some available at the store!

We discovered a major problem today in the first hay field we cut. I thought I had somehow chemically damaged it with a chemical until I noticed that all the bluestem in a surrounding field that hadn’t been sprayed in years was also completely dead. Turns out it’s a brand new species never seen before this year in Milam County and only been in the US for about five years. It is known as the mealy bug. They feed inside the stems of plants. Especially bluestem and coastal. There aren’t any labeled insecticides for it at the moment. It caused complete and total annihilation of that field. It made almost 30 rolls last year and made two this year. Be sure you are watching your grass for small white bugs! They’re destructive! Attached is a presentation on them.

We have some good fertilized mixed grass bales of hay that we need to clear out to make room for this season! There are ~150 ‘24 bales @$45 and ~150 ‘25 bales $55. All good hay. Considering the cost of fuel and fertilizer, I don’t think you’ll find any new hay close to that this year. Located outside of Cameron. Must schedule to load.
