Crop scouts play an important role in commercial agriculture. They monitor fields for farmers during the growing season and provide reports of pest levels and overall health of crop plants. The University of Missouri-Fisher Delta Research Center has educated new scouts by providing extension classes for over 35 years. The chapters in this book are based on lessons from previous scouting school classes and covers the basics of pest control, plant nutrition, and irrigation. The focus is on row crops produced in the Missouri River Delta region. Students in the class are taught traditional scouting practices and new technologies that allows farmers to precisely respond to problems in their fields.
