Soybean crops have been hit by a hungry worm in Northwest Missouri.
Soybean podworms are eating the profits right out from under farmers in St. Joseph, Missouri.
Crop specialist Mike Rogge says soybeans like these in Adams County are doing just fine, and show no signs of podworm.
One agriculture manager in Saint Joseph says he hasn't seen this level of damage in 40 years.
Donnie Miller says late-planted beans in the river bottomland and flooded ground have been hardest hit.
Insecticide applied quickly seems to be helping.
