From the article :
The FAO has been trying to rent pickup trucks, but has found it hard because they are also the preferred means of transport for Afghan soldiers. "The only pickups have guys with machine guns in the back of them," Harvey lamented. Now that they have a government, efficiency has returned.

As a tractor dug a small trench ahead of them, the men waved pieces of plastic, scarves and blankets to herd the swarm into the hole where they crushed them with their feet. The EPA approved method of insect control.

Maybe the Locusts are on the Burmese[Myanmar] Opium Warlords payroll too.
To: galt-jw
1) This is Northern Afghanistan, US allies.
2) I'm not aware of the cycle of locusts in that region but it is a known *fact* that some UN busybody had *planted* a box of locust eggs in Iraq. I would not be surprised if the same thing happened in Afghanistan, none here should be surprised either.
Watch and listen. Stand ready.

Salt Lake City needs to send their seagulls, pronto!
