Midwest Pest Alert Network
The Iowa Pest Alert Network was created in 2022 to provide short, timely updates via text messaging to farmers and crop consultants, agronomists, and extension personnel that advise farmers. This website links to more information about key pests in the Midwest, degree day mapping, regional updates, and supplemental publications.
