I live in central Massachusetts on 11 acres out in farm country. I have a field that I purposely left uncut for the past two years because I knew it was filled with milkweed and I knew that there were problems with the Monarch population. I am distressed to say that I have not found a single Monarch in the last two years! I grew up in this area and have fond memories of finding Monarch caterpillars and raising them up in a glass jar until they hatched and were let go to fly free once they were able to. I guess I can only hope that next year might be better.
