In 2004, Wisconsin farmers grew 3.6 million acres of corn, 5 million acres of alfalfa and 1.6 million acres of soybeans. In sharp contrast, Wisconsin farmers grew only 30,000 acres of green peas, 73,000 acres of snap beans, 2,000 acres of onions and 4,200 acres of carrots (Wisconsin Ag Statistics, 2005). If you were going to invest $70-100 million on developing a new pesticide for one of the above crops, which would you choose? It doesn’t take a financial wizard to realize that the return on investment has the potential to be disastrous from a low acreage crop. Nonetheless, the need for pest management tools on these minor acreage crops often equals or exceeds the large acreage field crops.
