Stinkbugs on corn? Going around the fields the other day, I noticed the stinkbug population seems to like our corn. I counted as many as 10 per ear. Buggers drill through the leaf into the kernal and leave an offcolor kernal. They're really getting to be a pest. I just hope the elevators don't start docking for damage---

There was talk around here of something eating the silk off at about polination time. Don't know if that's what was doing it or not.

I will now go out and see how many there are here. They arrived from asia (of course) in 2008 and in that short time have spread like crazy. They look like they could soon be a big problem,

Stink bugs have been in Michigan since the early 70s. I use to smash them all the time. Cant tell you before the 70s, I would have been too small.
