Agronomy And Farm Management

Weeds are the number one pest for most farmers, and as they develop resistance to herbicides, control becomes more of a challenge. Dr. Mark Loux, OSU Weeds Specialist, talks to us about what he is seeing across Ohio this year. He has some helpful strategies for controlling two of the relatively new problematic weeds, Palmer Amaranth and Waterhemp. We also discuss the new herbicide resistant weed technologies coming to the market. For more resources, visit u.osu.edu/osuweeds.

Listen in as we interview Ben Brown, Program Manager for Farm Management in the Department of Agricultural, Environmental and Developments Economics at The Ohio State University. He has been following congress closely as they discuss the 2018 Farm Bill. Brown offers insight into when we might expect to see the Farm Bill pass and what it may include. He also dives a little into the current trade situation for agriculture worldwide.

Aaron Wilson discusses the weather outlook for the 2018 growing season. He uses what happened this past winter and spring to make predications on how the summer weather might play out.
