June 13, 2008

Although spring 2008 has been wetter than normal, field work has progressed adequately for us to hold our annual Weed Science Tour in Lincoln on June 17, starting at 8:30 a.m. The tour will begin at the shop buildings on the southwest corner of 84th and Havelock streets, and will last for approximately three hours.

The tour will provide an excellent opportunity to see the effects of burndown, PRE, and early POST treatments in corn, soybeans, and sorghum. The tour will include treatments from all the major herbicide manufacturers, and features several newly released or developmental products.

We hope that you will be able to join us.
