Circle H Farm Competes in National Environmental Stewardship Competition

Congratulations to Circle H Farms (the Hyatt Family) from Rainy River who were named Ontario's 2024 TESA recipients earlier this year in February. The Hyatt's were also the Ontario nominee for the National TESA that was awarded in Saskatoon in mid-August. Though the big prize went to a great farm in Nova Scotia this year, we are proud of the fantastic environmental stewardship work being done on Circle H Farms. The Hyatts represented Ontario well in the competition and we applaud them as a great example of what it means to be stewards of the land, while raising cattle and producing high-quality, delicious Ontario beef for people to enjoy.

What insect threats are Minnesota corn growers facing, and what research is helping farmers stay ahead of them?

At the 2026 MN Ag Expo, University of Minnesota entomologist Fei Yang shared updates on three Minnesota Corn-supported research projects focused on insect monitoring, seed treatments, and pest resistance.

Current work includes statewide monitoring programs that use pheromone, light, and sticky traps to track key pests such as black cutworm, true armyworm, corn earworm, European corn borer, and corn rootworm. Researchers are also evaluating whether high-rate seed treatments provide effective corn rootworm control and studying the development of resistance in European corn borer populations to Bt corn traits.

These projects help researchers better understand pest pressures across Minnesota and provide farmers with practical information to support informed management decisions.
