Hi-Line Grasshopper Forecast Not Promising for 2022

Another problem this year is that USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) does not have any money available for cost sharing for rangeland treatment in the western U.S. Last year.

"It was pretty short for the amount of grasshoppers we had last year … That wasn’t going to be enough and it clearly wasn’t. And it is an undertaking to try and get that many planes contracted and all the paperwork done so that growers can get some help or relief spraying rangeland. That’s what that program is. It’s only rangeland. So state rangelands, BLM rangelands, and private rangelands. It does nothing for crops. For crops, there are insecticides that producers can look towards to try to mitigate the impacts of grasshoppers.”
