Uncontrolled pests can cause havoc on developing crops and obliterate yields.
They’re not all bad, though – in fact, some are extremely helpful. So it’s best to learn what to look for and which insects are good and bad for your crop.

In season, you must be watchful and keep an eye on paddocks before insect damage occurs.
