Grasshopper Information
The grasshopper outlook for 2022 again looks troubling for much of Montana, including Richland County and the surrounding areas. USDA-ARS Northern Plains Agriculture Research Laboratory and MSU Richland County Extension hosted a Grasshopper Workshop to discuss grasshopper research and management on range and croplands and the likelihood of large outbreaks in the region again this summer.
The recording of the Grasshopper Workshop is now available. The passcode for the recording is: r5NmJ!XN
In addition to the recording, Dave Branson's presentation and Gary Adams' presentation have both been made available for those who are interested.
