Eastern Tent Caterpillars Hatching Earlier In Kentucky
Due to unseasonably warm weather, Eastern tent caterpillar eggs are hatching earlier that usual. University of Kentucky College
of Agriculture research has proven that the caterpillars caused outbreaks of mare reproduc- tive loss syndrome (MRLS), which can cause early- and late-term fetal losses as well as weak foals. About 30 percent of the foal crop was lost during the 2001-02 MRLS outbreak, with the state suffering an economic loss of around $336 million in all breeds of horses. Horse farms are encouraged to check wild cherry and related trees for the caterpillars to determine whether management is necessary, including foliar sprays, removal of trees, and removal of pregnant mares from pastures with the trees.

DIRECTIONS:
Creamy Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas
Sarah Gammill (Lazy E)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and green chiles. Mix well. Add the chicken and black beans. Mix to combine. Set aside. In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and starts to turn translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir well. Cook for 1 minute, stirring. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk. As you whisk and the mixture cooks, the flour will get less lumpy around the onions and the mixture will become smooth. Cook over medium heat until the mixture is bubbling and has thickened, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the skil- let from the heat and stir in the enchilada sauce and sour cream. Lightly grease a 9X13-inch baking dish. Spread about 1/4 cup of the sauce on the bottom of the dish. Fill each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of the chicken/cream cheese filling. Top with a small handful of shredded cheese, a couple tablespoonfuls for each enchilada. Save at least 1/2 cup cheese for the top of the enchiladas. Roll the tor- tillas up and place seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Continue filling enchiladas until the dish is full (I can easily fit 8 enchiladas in one pan). Pour the white sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Top with remaining cheese. Bake for 20-30 minutes until the enchiladas are bubbling, hot and lightly browned. Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top and serve.
