Weed pressure is cranking up. FMC Retail Market Manager Sam Lockhart is seeing some common weed issues. “I’ve seen fields that were prevent plant last year really come alive with a lot of waterhemp. Residual herbicides are needed for that weed.” Insect issues include soybean aphids and armyworms. Grasshoppers are also being seen. “It’s kind of surprising with all the moisture we’ve had. They usually come out when it’s dry, but there’s a fair amount of grasshoppers coming out of road ditches.”
