    Weed Management (Current issues and post emergence control options)

    Outstanding conversation and discussions with Dr. Peter Dotray and agents regarding the current weed situation and potential issues following rains.  This conversation is very timely and important as we anticipate weed breaks earlier than normal due to abundance of rains in the area and potential of early breakdown of pre and at plant applications.  I always enjoy the discussions with agents as they visit about the current landscape they are seeing in their counties.  We are extremely fortunate to have the expertise of Dr. Dotray and others to analyze and discuss whats needed now and going forward in dealing with these issues.
