We finally have a nice sunny morning, and I’m out scouting some second crop Alfalfa. I figured we should get it 
done today with the forecast for storms tomorrow. The Alfalfa is at 4 to 6” tall. We found low levels of PLH (potato leaf hopper) and Alfalfa Weevil. But with warmer temperatures these pests can advance rapidly, so I would encourage you to keep a close eye on your second crop.
I have included a few pictures from this morning. For some reference materials to help you identify these pests, click on the following link AlfalfaInsectMgt by Craig Saxe. 
Please call your local Agronomy Advisor if you need help checking your fields. We like to check fields approximately 7 to 10 days after cutting. — Rob Shields, Agronomist
