Here’s an article that appeared in yesterday’s Minneapolis Star-Tribune:

The state has had to employ pilots from as far away as Texas and Arkansas to come up and spray. To date, they’ve sprayed over 1.5 million acres of soybeans.

It is amazing how fast these buggers have spread, since they’ve only been in our state for three years.

Take care,
