Farmer's Reminded About Post Harvest Weed Control

With harvest activities starting to wind up in some areas, farmers are looking at their fall weed control.

"Definitely, things are setting seed before emergence in the Spring. If they set seed before even seeding, then perhaps depending on how Spring is you're kind of eliminating some of that competition," she said.
 
Chant says now up until freeze up is a good time to focus on weed control.

Uppy was a great farmer to meet and we are very grateful for his hospitality and the opportunity to share our adventures with you.
