SE Indiana | I believe a lot of the issue is an equipment and knowledge problem. We had different equipment to mechanically control weeds, and we knew how to use it and when to use it. Full tillage, crop rotations, wheat, hay, pasture rotations helped with weed control. Todays short rotations of corn and soybeans have allowed weeds to adapt. This with the loss of those who had years of knowledge on the way to set equipment, the ideal time to use that equipment, and the best equipment for the job all adds up to a bigger weed problem.
There was a reason that farms covered fewer acres in the past. | |
