Entomologists are seeking pea leaf weevil, cabbage seedpod weevil, and diamondback moth specimens for research. Meanwhile, cabbage seedpod weevil activity has increased, with some southern Alberta fields exceeding economic thresholds. Grasshopper development continues, bertha armyworm moth monitoring is underway, and wheat midge emergence is expected later this month into early July. Growers are encouraged to continue scouting and monitoring crops closely.

If you are spraying near a County road allowance or ditch, please take care to prevent overspray or pesticide drift.

Roadside mowing will take place throughout Saddle Hills County during the month of July.

Grasshopper development is progressing, the annual pheromone trap monitoring program for bertha armyworm moths has started, and we are hearing the first reports of cabbage seedpod weevil activity this week. Read more about these things and more in the Week 7 update!

Temperatures are near normal, and forecasts suggest above-normal rainfall in June to support crop development.

The Bonanza truck fill is currently unavailable for use. 

Annual inspections help keep County playgrounds safe, but your eyes matter too. If you notice damaged equipment or any safety concern, please report it right away.
