I was sitting here reading Southern Brewing News this evening and read an article where they mentioned this guide put together by Washington State Oregon State and U of Idaho on hop management, associated pests and care. I know we are getting close to harvest time for the year but I thought I would share what I found since I know I see questions about whats this, whats eating my hops and so on. Hope it helps, it looks pretty good to me. Wish I had seen it earlier as my hop crop got toasted back in May.CheersMain PageHandbookField GuideMike

I've really neglected my hops this year. Some of the more established ones have gotten really brown in the leaves. Even the Cascade. I think I'm gonna get rid of six others that have not fared well and will only keep Cascade & Chinook, since at least they produce. This looks like it will be some good reading, so thanks for the links. (I just hope it's not too technical for my dumb ass)
