STATE OFFICIALS LAUNCH SURVEY TO DETERMINE COSTS OF INVASIVE SPECIES

You could soon take part in a survey on invasive insect species. Pennsylvania agriculture officials have launched the first statewide survey to measure the costs of how much damage the critters cause to the state. The governor’s Invasive Species Council is asking residents to complete the survey on the state agriculture’s website. Researchers say they especially want to study the price for controlling the invasive bugs in the state’s 133-billion-dollar agriculture and food industry.
