On this podcast episode, we catch up with some of our WeedSmart Extension Agronomists to chat about stopping weed seed set ahead of harvest.

Southern Extension Agronomist, Greg Condon co-hosts on this episode.

We hear from our Southern Extension Agronomist Chris Davey, who focuses on 2,4-D application. Our Northern Extension Agronomist, Paul McIntosh, provides an update on how harvest is going in his region and what the additional rain has meant for weed control in the north.

Western Extension Agronomist, Peter Newman also joins us to give an overview of desiccation and crop topping in the west.
