Though they would have been very handy the last week.
So yes, the thought did cross my mind.
Why? These guys showed up:
So while I was on the road, eating well at the expense of the employer and host organizations, these guys were eating well at the expense of my pasture.
I came home and wondered how the horses managed to eat off so much of their pasture. Then I wondered why/how they grazed off the other pasture. And when I walked through the pasture on Sunday morning I realized even the toilet areas were eaten off. Horses may discriminate, but fall armyworms do not.
So I have declared war on the armyworms!
(Get it? War - ARMYworms? Get it? HA!)
Except they have already retreated, or advanced, to another battle field.
I would have taken pictures but we got an inch of rain over the weekend so the grass has already started to re-sprout.
Maybe I should get back into the chicken business. They eat worms, right?
But then again, when they don't have bugs to eat, they go after my garden instead.
Tough choices.
