With the summer weather comes concerns about ticks for those involved in agriculture.
K-State crop entomologist Jeff Whitworth said farmers need to be aware of their environments.
“What I’m seeing is the guys are out looking at their irrigation systems, and they’re hanging out around the edge of the field in the weedy areas,” he said. “They’re getting ready to cut their wheat, or in some cases, they are cutting their wheat, and that’s primarily where the ticks are.”
Whitworth said ticks are very good at finding their next meal.
