David Cox, a Daviess County farmer, has seen the horrors of an Armyworm infestation first hand. Cox first heard about the problem from people coming back from the state fair. They found their hay fields eaten up by army worms when they got home. That’s when he went to look and found the damage to his own fields. “It’s hit about everybody’s brome fields,” he says. “Thing is, once you find the damage, they’ve been there and gone, they do it so quick.”
The picture is of a brome field beside a fescue field. “They didn’t seem to like the fescue,” Cox says. “They just ate the brome.”
