If you are seeing a lot of brown and green shiny insects around your yard lately you are not alone, Japanese Beetles are making their annual appearance in Portage county.

What is it and why should we be concerned about it?   The biggest concern is it will cause burns and blistering of the skin of a human or animal if they come in contact with plant sap in the presence of sunlight.

Portage County Extension is offering soil testing for lawns, gardens, food plots and fields.
