Ryan Miller, Extension educator – crops and Lisa Behnken, Research specialist – field trials
Weed management has changed dramatically in recent years with herbicide resistant weeds, new herbicide technologies and challenging weather conditions. How do we develop resilient strategies to deal with all of the different challenges? The 2022 Corn and Soybean Weed Management Tour will highlight ongoing research that addresses these challenges and introduces new ideas for crop producers and ag professionals on Wednesday, July 6.
The event will begin in the field with on-site registration at 8:30. The tour starts at 9:00 and will conclude by noon.
The Rochester weed management trials are located just east of the Olmsted County Recycling site on County Rd 9 (Collegeview RD), a short mile north and a bit west of our previous location. If you head to the recycling and composting site, you will see our sign at the entrance, then head east on a gravel field road (GPS coordinates: 44.024138, -92.425515).
