Risk of fall armyworm damage

From Nick Roy
Adair County Extension Agent for Agriculture & Natural Resources

Many homeowners are starting to notice these tiny egg masses around their homes. These are fall armyworm eggs, which will develop into caterpillars that feed on turf, livestock forages, and some ornamental plants. Newly seeded pastures, hayfields, wildlife food plots, and cover crops may be at the greatest risk of damage.

At this time, it's unknown how serious armyworm damage will become. Learn more about fall armyworms here: Return of the Fall Armyworm?.

Youth e-cigarette use drops to lowest level in a decade

From the U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Half a million fewer U.S. youth reported current use of e-cigarettes in 2024 compared to 2023, according to new data from the National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) released today by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The nationally representative data featured in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) includes findings on e-cigarette and nicotine pouch use among U.S. youth, two categories of tobacco products the FDA and CDC are monitoring closely, particularly regarding youth use and appeal.

NYTS is an annual school-based, self-administered survey of U.S. middle (grades 6-8) and high school (grades 9-12) students conducted Jan. 22 to May 22, 2024. Findings showed there was a significant drop in the number of U.S. middle and high school students who reported current (past 30 days) e-cigarette use - a decrease from 2.13 million (7.7%) youth in 2023 to 1.63 million (5.9%) youth in 2024. This decline was largely driven by reduced e-cigarette use among high schoolers (1.56 million to 1.21 million), with no statistically significant change in current e-cigarette use among middle school students within the past year. The number of youth who used e-cigarettes in 2024 is approximately one-third of what it was at its peak in 2019, when over five million youth reported current e-cigarette use.

"The continued decline in e-cigarette use among our nation's youth is a monumental public health win," said Brian King, Ph.D., M.P.H., director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products. "This progress is a testament to the relentless efforts by the FDA, CDC and others, particularly over the past half decade. But we can't rest on our laurels, as there's still more work to do to further reduce youth e-cigarette use."
