Ontario police are searching for suspects who got away with stealing 1,400 pounds of tobacco from a farm in Brant County.

Authorities say that a group of people entered a barn on Bishopsgate Road, west of Brantford Sunday night, taking the tobacco. Someone living at the property saw a vehicle flee and called police.

Police found the vehicle, but suspects dodged into a corn field and got away on foot. A police search was called, including a canine unit, but efforts were unsuccessful.

Those with information about this case are asked to contact police at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

#CortevaTalks brings you a short update with Cereal Herbicides Category Manager, Alister McRobbie, on how to get the most out of Broadway® Star.

Significant populations of grassweeds, including ryegrass and brome, can threaten winter wheat yields. Spring applications of a contact graminicide, such as Broadway Star from Corteva Agriscience, can clear problem weeds, allowing crops to grow away in the spring.

Broadway Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam) controls ryegrass, sterile brome, wild oats and a range of broad-leaved weeds such as cleavers. It can be applied to winter wheat up until GS32, but the earlier the application is made, the smaller the weed, and the greater the benefit to the crop. Weeds should be actively growing. A good rule of thumb is that if your grass needs cutting, conditions are right to apply Broadway Star.
