More or less letting the other hop growers in the Chicagoland area know what's up.
I saw a lone beetle under a leaf of my Cascade. I checked my other hops, I found more on my Mt. Hood. Just like last year, they seem to love Mt. Hood and Cascade, but not a single one on my Chinook. To bitter for them? I dunno.
While some people hate pheromone traps, I set mine out and have good luck with them. I also decided to spray my hops, flushing my 'organic' status down the toilet. Figured the label is essentially a point of pride. Since I have none, who cares.
