While our entire state did not receive the amount of rain from the remnants of Hurricane Helene compared to other states, most of Indiana did receive at least an inch of precipitation over the past few weeks with some southern counties receiving over five inches (Figure 1).
Fall and cooler temperatures have arrived. Soon after that, a frost will occur.
The presence of poison hemlock (Conium maculatum L.) in pastures, fencelines, and field edges (Figure 1) is a frequent concern in many parts of Indiana.
