The Monarchs have recovered from last winter's big freeze in Mexico

[Paul Cherubini]

In the past, the monarchs have always quickly recovered from big 
winter kills and this past summer has been no exception.  Here are 
some picturesI took during a recent trip to the upper Midwest (in 
the heart of YieldGard Bt corn and Roundup Ready Corn & 
Soybean Country):

So the size of the monarch migration headed to Mexico this coming 
fall should be pretty close to normal.
