Is anyone else getting these emails trying to sell you the list of @CropTecShow attendees? I hope it's a scam, because if that list has been made available to sell, we shd be looking to take legal action.

What are wireworms?
Wireworms are the larvae of click beetles and there’ about 60 species in the UK, but just 3 key species cause most damage 🥔 🐛

Some of the seed pieces were almost completely consumed by wireworm.
