Black Cutworm Alert!

Received an email from Pat Miller of black cutworm in the area. If you have not put down a herbicide yet, this is the perfect time to include it. Hero offers a guarantee for a period of time, I believe 30 days but don't quote me on that.

Keep an eye out for this! If you have concerns and need me help walk, give me a shout. Call 417-684-5301 or email: wendell@topagservices.com
