Monitoring Stinkbugs in Soybeans

We will be monitoring stinkbugs in soybeans this summer. Tay Possebom, a graduate student with Dominic Reisig will place traps in 34 soybean fields in Johnston County and collect stinkbug data. This is important work. I just wanted you to know that if you see the traps (like the picture above) along the edge of your fields, this is what is going on.
