    Author(s): Mark Loux

    Based on the current price of wheat, some wheat fields with less than ideal stands are being taken to yield instead of terminated.  A uniform wheat stand usually provides most of the weed control that’s needed.  Weeds will likely be more evident and in need of control where stands are thin or erratic.  We have been told wheat herbicides are scarce, so growers might want to check with suppliers soon.  Reminder that any product containing dicamba has to be applied prior to jointing.

    Wild Parsnip FlowersPoison hemlock seems to be on everyone’s radar more than usual this year, especially in northern Ohio.  We know that while hemlock has been all over southern Ohio for years, it is continuing to spread northward, where new occurrences and observations of it may be engendering concern in the general public and local government. There have also been comments that it seems “worse than usual” this year in
