Aphid Field Day

Beaver Creek farmers Clair Crawford and Carl Gehrke examine a soybean plant for signs of aphid infestation Wednesday, July 3, during field day at the Luverne Public School agriculture plot. The field day was sponsored by Rock County Extension Services to help educate farmers on how to combat the soybean aphid, an insect native to Asia, that threatened soybean crops last year and is expected to infest more fields this year.
