Due to the weather conditions, Colorado beetles are developing more rapidly this year, which means potato yields could decrease by as much as 80%. Large-scale potato growers are still hopeful that the potatoes will thrive, though they are grumbling that their preferred insecticides have been added to the list of banned substances, while one organic farmer has developed a special mechanism for collecting the beetles. Paraphrasing the lyrics of a once-popular song, potato growers this year say: a field of nothing but beetles.
