Weed control was a big topic during the Lake Region Extension Roundup in Devils Lake. Walsh County Extension Agent Brad Brummond says kochia is the biggest challenge in his county right now. “I have cattlemen who are starting to hay it to try and get rid of it, but you need to get rid of it before it goes to seed. These weeds are becoming more prevalent in our crop plan because they’re becoming resistant, or they have natural evasion in their characteristics.” Brummond advocated the use of a weed resistant screen to help develop an effective management plan.
