Farmers Gain Precision Spray Knowledge at Wisconsin Weed Management Workshop

The rapidly developing industry of precision spray technology drew over 170 farmers, crop consultants, and weed scientists to a University of Wisconsin research center on September 11, 2025. They were there to attend the second annual University of Wisconsin-Madison Extension Weed Management Workshop, which brought attendees in from multiple states, representing over 2.6 million acres of farmland.

The workshop’s agenda, organized by the WiscWeeds team in partnership with Crops & Soils Extension Educators, covered a broad range of targeted spray topics, from weed control with targeted spray equipment to nozzle selection, herbicide spray coverage, and laser weeding. 

The workshop included 10 sponsor booths for attendees to visit throughout the event. GROW and Take Action, sponsored by the United Soybean Board, were among the organizations handing out informational materials on weed control and herbicide resistance.
