Weed Management, Weed Escapes, and Targeted Control Practices Survey

By Rodrigo Werle and Chris Proctor et.al

A collaborative research project is underway with weed scientists from Kansas State, University of Nebraska, and University of Wisconsin. As part of this effort, they have created a survey for growers, consultants, and extension personnel.

The objective of the 2021 Soybean and Corn Weed Management, Weed Escapes, and Targeted Spraying Technologies SURVEY is to understand the main chemical weed control strategies and weed escapes in soybean and corn production fields in the United States during the 2021 growing season and to evaluate the interest and awareness regarding novel targeted herbicide spraying technologies (e.g., Seek & Spray systems, Drone-Mounted Weed Sensors and Sprayers).

You can access the survey at: https://uwmadison.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_e8rltNtwDgwtQXA

Your time participating in this survey is much appreciated and your responses will be of great value to our future weed management research and extension efforts.

Video: Kansas Wheat Harvest 2026 | Three John Deere S7 700 Combines in Action

Kansas Wheat Harvest 2026 is underway near Alden, Kansas!

In this video, I spend time with Frederick Harvesting, a custom harvesting operation based in Alden, Kansas. Back at their home farm, three new John Deere S7 700 combines equipped with John Deere HDF40 draper heads work through a drought-stricken winter wheat crop while one of the farm's John Deere 8R 370 tractors pulls a Brent 1398 grain cart.

Most of the Frederick Harvesting crew was already busy cutting wheat in southwest Kansas, but these machines remained at home to finish up local fields. Throughout the video, I explain what is happening, discuss the effects of dry conditions on the crop, and capture plenty of aerial footage showing the combines working with the grain elevator at Alden in the background.
