Emmet Schwartz Entry Credit: Jon Baker Judge Comment: All of the stories in this package grabbed my attention and told an interesting tale. But the piece on the armyworms really struck me as a great feature story, So often, stories about science and about farming can easily spin into a pile of technical jargon that is difficult for the reader to wade through. This story was so lively and interesting and had a great environmental aspect to it as well.
