Hardin County Extension news: Western Bean Cutworms not in traps this year

By Mark Badertscher, OSU Extension Educator
Ohio State University Extension, Hardin County – Western Bean Cutworms were not caught in Hardin County OSU Extension traps this growing season.

The trapping of this agricultural crop pest is a part of a statewide OSU Extension monitoring program.
