University of Illinois crop sciences professor Michael Gray found exceedingly low numbers of corn and soybean insect pests in a survey of 47 counties in Illinois in 2011. Despite these low numbers, and historically low densities of European corn borers, growers tell Gray they will use Bt corn and pesticides again this year.
