4-H Field crop club learns about pests

The second meeting of the West Luther 4-H Field Crop Club was held May 22 at Doug and Susan Shaw’s.

The meeting was opened with the 4-H pledge followed by the election of officers. Willie Van de Pol is our president; vice-president is Mitchell Clark; secretary, Dennis Coffey and press reporter Ellen Shaw.  

This meeting we learned about the different pests that can affect the crops in our fields.  They are weeds, insects and disease. We had each brought two weeds to identify.

We used the weed identification books supplied by our leader James Ferrier.  The next meeting will be June 19.
