Farm Progress
A large part of my job as an Extension weed specialist is trying to troubleshoot the myriad of problems that occur on the farm. I often feel like Sherlock Holmes in pursuit of his nemesis, Professor Moriarty. But plants can’t talk, memories fade (mine included), and environmental conditions are never quite normal, which all can make this process very challenging.
I recently polled my Extension weed science counterparts across the South (AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MO, MS, NC, OK, SC, TN, TX, VA) on common problems that occur in their respective states.
