Been growing boiler taters for many years. A number of years ago, I started to see Colorado Potato Beetle infestations. I tried rotating crops, using preventive insecticides, nothing worked to rid myself of the annual plague.
Several years ago the supplier I had been using for many years suddenly indicated (in their catalogue) they could not ship potatoes into the State of Minnesota. I called & asked 'em why, they would not say.
So I switched supplier to Burpee - no problem. They shipped here. And - no more beetles!
Is there a correlation here?
I also noted the previous supplier has changed location, etc. - mebbe they got bought out &, er, "improved" by corporate beaners?
