Weeds are becoming more of a problem. Often it is too wet to get in the field early and spray when the weeds are small enough to easily control. When they get bigger, it is much tougher to kill them. We are stepping up our weed control program to try and knock back the problem weeds...pigweeds and marestail, in particular.
We are thankful to be getting out now in all our later-planted soybean fields. Beans AND weeds are growing fast after some rains a couple weeks ago. Here's a particularly bad spot that just got sprayed. We'll check back next week to see how they look.

Once our three kiddos get big enough, hand weeding might become an integral part of our weed control program. Builds character...or that's what they used to tell me.
