Olathe sweet corn harvest is in trouble because of an invasive insect

Outlet: 9NEWS

12 Oct, 2023

9NEWS: Melissa Schreiner works as a state entomologist for Colorado State University Extension, focusing on the Tri-River Area of Colorado where Olathe sweet corn is grown. She explained they see the corn earworm every year, but typically it arrives during the harvest time when they’re able to get ahead of it. This year the worms showed up earlier, in June and July.
