Drought and fall herbicide applications

On the Farm and In the Garden This week’s article comes to us from Dr. Alyssa Essman, Weed Specialist in the Department of Horticulture and Crop Science at OSU.

Dealing with weather and cutting costs

For most farmers, the weather has turned dry with corn and soybeans leaves drying down. A good August rain can add bushels to soybeans and help fill out the corn. While some farmers have received adequate rain this year, the weather patterns have been fickle. Most areas are in a drought now. It seems like the same areas get rain, perhaps too much at times while other areas get missed. A good explanation for this is that good growing crops that got early rain are transpiring more water into the atmosphere, generating more moisture in those areas. Whatever the reason, it can be exasperating for those lacking rain.
