Summary

Description

Melanoplus sanguinipes, a migratory grasshopper, are eating this production crop of flax in this farm field, the damage they and the drought are leaving cause serious economic losses to farmers such as Karl Mavencamp in Malta, MT, on July 17, 2021. They are biting off the buds that have the flaxseed; what farmers want from a harvest. Once the buds are on the ground, they can not be harvested. The flowering and closed buds lay scattered on the ground. The damage an overpopulation of grasshoppers leave on farms, rangeland, and prairies has a negative economic impact on farmers and ranchers. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is working with Federal, State, Tribal, and local agencies, organizations, and institutions to conduct survey and suppression activities in the Western States to reduce grasshopper and Mormon cricket damage and protect valuable agricultural resources and rangeland. Grasshoppers and Mormon crickets are natural components of the rangeland ecosystem; however, when their populations reach outbreak levels, farmers and ranchers face serious economic losses.
