Default armyworms

The next county away from us is polluted with armyworms now there are in our county. They are bad news for us dairy farmers and crop farmers, they can destroy a crop in a short amount of time. The only thing we can do is mow and harvest the hay before they devour it or spray chemicals on the fields which would cost thousands of dollars.

Those worms are eating the leaves off some of the trees hanging over my drive way...the poop hits the driveway and at times sounds like gentle rain! When the Royal Chariot is parked under those trees, it looks like the Royal Poopmobile after a few hours!

Armyworms destroyed about 2 acres of corn on my friends farm he use's to feed his cows.They had too replant that section of the field,I can't remember if they sprayed?. I had the same worms in my my garden and they mowed a couple of rows in less then a day.
