Ep. 407 - Trade Wins and Weed Wars

In this episode of the Ohio Ag Net Podcast, Dale Minyo talks with Wendy Osborn, Director of Market Development at Ohio Corn and Wheat. They cover the effects and benefits farmers are going to see from the upcoming trade deals being made. She says there is a lot of optimism around these trade deals as we are projected to set a record for corn and corn ethanol exports, but the details of these deals are still being fine-tuned. Then, Joel Penhorwood chats alongside Rodrigo Werle, Extension Weed Scientist for the University of Wisconsin Madison from the field at the Southwest Ohio Corn Growers Field Day. With waterhemp being one of the toughest weeds to control with its very extended emergence rate and resistance, Werle offers tips to farmers about controlling waterhemp, especially with a two-pass management system.
