Fall herbicides give you a jump on spring

Use extended weed control for cleaner fields when it matters most, in the spring.

You get three big benefits when you use an extended weed control herbicide in the fall:

  1. Balance your workload better and get ahead by moving a spring job into the fall 
  2. Stop weeds before or as they emerge in the spring with proven, consistent weed control from locked in moisture  
  3. Keep moisture and nutrients for the crop, not for early emerging weeds

A soil-applied extended weed control herbicide creates a soil-barrier once the herbicide goes into a solution. With a fall application, the performance consistency increases due to the snow melting and/or early spring rains. With these spring moisture events, the product is activated and made available for root uptake by flushing germinating weeds.

Tips and tricks

Save now, read later

We were never meant to remember the gigabytes of data our eyes fly over in an internet surf session.

Sometimes, while you’re searching for something specific on the web, you stumble across a graph or quote or great recipe. You leave the tab open, promising yourself you’ll go back later to harvest the information. You almost never do. Sooner or later, you close your browser, losing all those tabs forever. Sound familiar? 

Try one of these easy-to-use tools to help you categorize the tidbits you pick up online for easy sharing with colleagues or filing for later. 

Google Keep. Of course, Google offers a free solution. Google Keep is an app you can download to your desktop. It syncs automatically with keep.google.com which you can keep open in a tab on your Chrome browser. Add Google Keep as an extension to Chrome and you can clip text and images to a “note.” You can file notes under labels for easy sorting. You can also download the Google Keep app to your tablet to save hand-drawn images. Sharing is easy too.  

Evernote. If you’re wary of sharing yet more of your private things with Google, consider Evernote. It’s similar to Google Keep except it offers a more robust interface. The notes screen has more font and colour options when you’re typing. You can track and assign tasks. It also integrates with Google Calendar and the Google Chrome extension allows for much more control on what is clipped from a website. 

Surf around a bit and you’ll find even more save-for-later software options.
