Armyworm primarily feed on grasses. As seen in the past, and now being reported this spring, they will feed on no-tilled soybean into a cereal rye cover crop.
A few soybean fields were planted early, and they are not only emerged, but well into the V-growth stages. Producers are just now finding that these “islands” of legumes have become a trap-crop for bean leaf beetle activity early this season.
The Purdue Pest Management Program has made 3 videos available which address this year’s late-planting season. You can find them on YouTube using the following links:

The early intensive black cutworm flights into Indiana, 2nd week of April, have now received enough heat accumulation for larva to have developed to the cutting stage throughout the state.
