SYNOPSIS

A couple of much needed rain events late last week and early this week brought some relief to the very dry conditions we were starting to see in the region. POST herbicide as well as side-dressing applications have been ongoing this week. Some weed species spotted (mostly at field edges) include morningglory, giant ragweed, field bindweed, Canada thistle, and waterhemp. Late-planted corn is at the V6-V7 stages, and soybeans are at V2-V3.
