Welcome to the Weeds AR Wild podcast series as a part of Arkansas Row Crops Radio. My name is Tommy Butts, extension weed scientist for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture. And thank you for joining us for this next episode of the Weeds AR Wild podcast series. Today, I get to be joined by Dr. Jason Norsworthy. You wanna say hi, Jason?
[00:32] Jason Norsworthy
How’s all of our listeners are doing today?
[00:35] Tommy Butts
I'll respond for them. I think they're stressed because of the drought and the heat and barnyard grass and drift and everything else, at least from the phone calls I've been getting. So I'll just answer for all of our Podcast Land out there. So, speaking of those topics, that's basically what we wanted to hit on today. So I know several of our, you know, phones between Jason's, mine, Tom's, even our agronomists Jarrod and Jeremy. We, you know, we've been blowing up with drift calls and different herbicide injury and trying to kill weeds in this drought and heat and everything else. And so that's kind of what we wanted to hit on today. You know, one of the topics in particular has been ALS herbicide injury, you know, and it's from a gamut, a gamit. Wow. Well, I'm just jumping right into the herbicide, a gamut of different things, talking about Gamit. But anyway, so there's a whole range of herbicides that we kind of want to hit on an injury and what to do from that aspect. So Jason, I don't know if you want to just touch on, you know, kind of the beginnings of that or the phone calls we're getting and the crops affected and everything along those lines.
[01:38] Jason Norsworthy
Yeah. So Tommy, I'd say probably the last week and a half now, almost two weeks, very rarely a day goes by that I haven't dealt with a phone call or pictures or something like that as it relates to ALS injury. Here it is, I mean, it's 7:00 on June the first, and I've already had a phone call this morning on ALS injury on my own time. And it's something that's out there. You know, I think this year it maybe a little bit worse than it's been in the past. And I don't know if that's because we went out here and we planted a lot of rice and soybean and we just we planted a lot of acres in a short period of time. I'm not certain that all these acres got the appropriate pre-emergence herbicide because we were planning so many acres so fast and because also these crops are just all adjacent to each other, they all emerge at the same time. And so here we are now and here we are in rice. And, you know, we've got coffee bean, we've got smart weed, we've got indigo, and we're out here blowing these ALS herbicides on there trying to kill these, and rightfully so. I mean, these are some very effective tools. But in doing so, where we have soybeans in the vicinity, I mean, this morning, the phone call was it was a cotton field in the vicinity of a rice field. And ALS damage on it.
[03:06] Tommy Butts
I was going to say, I think more than ever before in my time here do we have just everything planted together. Like it's crazy, you know, corn next to rice and cotton next to rice and soybeans next to everything. And it's just everything is planted together and boxed in on all four sides this year, it seems like. I've had more calls that way than ever before. Like you mentioned, you know, cotton getting hit with ALS, you know, soybeans getting hit with ALS, corn getting hit with like Newpath, you know, rice getting hit with Atrazine. I've had a couple of pictures of rice getting hit with Atrazine, things like that, like just everything, you know, getting smacked around because we're just all planted together this year. It's a crazy year for some of that.
[03:45] Jason Norsworthy
It really has made it made it challenging. And, you know, I think as we go back and we take a look, at least from an ALS chemistry standpoint, we have some options out there in soybean that could help us or I see at least partially help us. And that's STS soybean. And I really hope that our growers start better utilizing the STS soybean. You know, I was talking to Jeremy Ross yesterday and he sent me some numbers this morning where 58 out of 152 soybean varieties in the Arkansas OVT last year were STS beans. And you know, Tommy, I mean, that's 38%, almost four out of every ten is an STS bean. And I think when you take a look at Xtend as well as Enlist – you name your trade of choice, there are sufficient STS beans out there and you know, STS does not necessarily give us complete tolerance to the wide assortment of ALS chemistries out there, but I think it does open the door for us. And I think if some of our growers had actually chosen some STS beans and again, that the individuals that are putting herbicides on rice, if they'd gone with something like Permit, Permit Plus – STS beans are completely tolerant to Permit and Permit Plus. Now I also what our listeners to understand, they are not tolerant to Gambit, they're not tolerant to Regiment, they're not tolerant to Grasp. And that's not a knock on Gambit. It's not a knock on Grasp or Regiment. I mean, it's just that that's what it is. There has been in the past a few Bolt beans out there. Pioneer, I really thought was going to get behind Bolt bean. I like the Bolt from the standpoint that it’s got better ALS tolerance than what the STS bean does. But you know, I was talking to Jeremy yesterday. I think here in the Mid-South we may have one or two Bolt beans. And again, that's going to be in Pioneer germplasm hence that's going to be only in Enlist. You're not going to have that definitely as an Xtend option. What the bolt bean did for us was it provided some tolerance – I’m not going to say complete tolerance – but it provided some tolerance to things like Grasp, Regiment and Gambit that you can drift on that STS bean really doesn’t provide.
[06:13] Tommy Butts
I was just going to say, yeah, we've done those symptomology plots kind of every year where we sprayed those. And that's exactly what we've seen. We normally spray like one, you know, 1/100 of a rate or so of those different herbicides. And you know, the non-STS gets smoked by basically everything, you know, Permit, Permit Plus can sometimes, you know, like especially if you get a low enough drift rate like they can bang up a non-STS but they can still survive, but it's still normally pretty ugly. STS ones, you know, like you said, like you mentioned, completely tolerant to Permit and Permit Plus. But Gambit, Regiment and Grasp will bang up an STS bean still, you know, really, really hardcore. It is a little bit of a benefit, though, especially if you start talking across a large field, you know, you're going to see a much more gradient where you get healthier beans for a bigger chunk of that field from an STS bean than a non-STS bean. And then like you mentioned, Bolt. Bolt, we could still bang them up with Gambit ,Regiment and Grasp, but it was like it was just kind of what we would expect in a normal drift with other things, right? Where maybe two weeks, it looks a little sickly, grows out of it, comes out of it. So, like you mentioned, the Bolt would be a really nice technology to have in the Mid-South for a lot of these things. It's just unfortunate there's not a larger variety pool that has that trait in it.
[07:29] Jason Norsworthy
You know, I think right now where we are because of all the damage that’s out there, it's really what do you do with these beans? Again, the question was this morning what do you do this morning with the cotton? And you know an ALS herbicide, they just they want to sit on a crop. You know, a lot of contact herbicides get you damage, you get some water on it, they grow out of it. But the ALS herbicide just has a tendency to sit and sit and sit, and here we are again, it’s June the first. And you know, I've been telling folks that if those leaves, if it's a V1, V2, soybean and those trifoliates are turning down, unifoliate is turned down, you've got red veins on it, I'm not sure I'd be sitting here waiting another 7 to 10 days on that bean to try to recover. I think we still got some growing season in front of us. I would look at killing it. I would look at getting back in there and getting something planted. I don't know. What are your thoughts on something like that?
[08:30] Tommy Butts
No, I think I agree. It depends a lot on kind of, you know, the size of your crop, you know, what stage it was at. I think it depends a little bit on the, you know, the herbicide we're talking about, too. You know, we mentioned we're talking a little bit about, you know, before we started the podcast, about Gambit having the most residual activity out of all of those ALS’s. And if you're trying to go back in with a non-STS bean if you had a high enough drift rate, you know, we're not saying that that Gambit might still be there, but there's a chance right? There is a potential that maybe that carries over and you're going to if you don't plant that STS bean, you're going to impact your crop, your plant back into it, too. So so, you know, I think like you mentioned, if you're V1, V2, that stuff is, you know, and I guess we should mention the symptoms that we're talking about too, you know, yellowing, red, purple veins, you know, it starts after a while, it starts stacking up all the nodes. After it starts stacking up nodes, it can turn this real dark green color. You know, that's normally what I see in beans and that like, like you mentioned where it lasts weeks of just sitting there is those bean plants will they'll turn yellow at first they all you know start stacking up that takes a week or two. Then for the next two or three weeks, they just sit there and they pack all these leaves into this little bush and they turn dark green and they sit in that stage for like another two weeks or three weeks. And then after that, they may finally start putting out new trifoliates. But you're talking a month to six weeks later where they really start actually growing out of an ALS herbicide that had a, you know, a pretty good significant chunk on it. And that's just that is a long time to try and get them restarted and re-going and maintain yield and everything elsewhere. Like you said, since we're only sitting at June one, you know, it's still early enough we could replant in those cases and probably be a lot better off even though we're restarting over kind of thing.
[10:17] Jason Norsworthy
And you know, again, when you're when you are replanting at this point, considering the fact that you've got a, you've got an ALS herbicide that's drifted across the field, whether it be Permit, Permit Plus, Gambit, any of these I would definitely plant an STS soybean. If I've got ALS injury out there I would not think twice about trying to move in to different, I would definitely plant an STS soybean, I would not plant a non-STS bean, that’s a definite.
[10:46] Tommy Butts
We mentioned some other crops there too, Jason, you know that had some, you know, ALS injury on corn or the cotton, like you mentioned today, you know, corn, we're probably past that point of no return that if you get a significant drift there, you probably got to swap and go to beans or something. But, you know, cotton, I'm assuming we're almost kind of too late too. What did you recommend to the consult they called you today on that front?
[11:08] Jason Norsworthy
You know, I think on cotton, I mean, if it's been a low drift rate on that, I think at this point, considering what your pre-emergence are, I mean, you're locked into cotton and you to have to look at planting cotton back in there. That's, that's kind of where you are at this point is start over with cotton. It’s June 1st, you're going to definitely take a yield hit here at this point. But I don't see where you have where you have a lot of options.
[11:37] Tommy Butts
Man. We always bring some great news to our listeners.
[11:43] Jason Norsworthy
Yeah, that's unfortunately, that's where we are. And, you know, again, so the question becomes, how do you kill this this crop? So you've got a crop out there struggling and you haven't, unfortunately, the drift event did not kill it. It just severely injured it. And then the question becomes, what do I do to get that crop out of the field? You know with that, if a guy does not, you know, the easiest way is to go back in there with tillage. Take it out with tillage. And I think that's probably a simple way of doing it. A lot of folks do not want to do that. They've got their beds up. They don't want to tear those beds down or they don't want to reshape those beds. Most folks are extremely afraid of Gramoxone or Paraquat, rightfully so, just from the standpoint it has a tendency to move. You know, I've recommended of some folks that if they've had dicamba soybeans that consider maybe switching over to Enlist beans and then spraying some 2,4-D. 2,4-D will kill an Xtend soybean and they can turn around and immediately plant Enlist beans in there.
[12:54] Tommy Butts
I was going to say you could do vice versa there, too, if there happens to be Enlist. You could spray dicamba and then move to Xtend system too.
[13:02] Jason Norsworthy
That's right. Dicamba would be very effective in terms of removing Enlist beans. And you know, I've had someone tells me what about spraying Permit, Permit Plus over the top of these beans if I’ve already drifted on them. Permit Plus is labeled STS Soybean. You know, I think that would work if you wanted to go that route. Another one that I’ve recommended is since it's coming out of rice, you obviously have rice around you in a lot of instances. I've told some folks four quarts of Propanil. That's going to be very, if you've got a V1, V2 soybean four quarts of propanil over the top will kill it. And I know that that's kind of an expensive, expensive treatment. But if you're afraid of getting something on that rice, again if you're afraid of Gramoxone and you don't want tillage, you don't 2,4-D, that's an option that I'm confident will work.
[13:52] Tommy Butts
Mm. I was going to say there's, when it comes to trying to kill some of these stands anymore, there's not a lot of good options. So I know, you know the options we're throwing out all seem not great, but that's what we got. You know, we, there's, there's not a magic wand or anything. And, and so none of them are great options, but they're the best options we kind of have to deal with for managing that kind of situation.
[14:13] Jason Norsworthy
So, so I'm just curious, I mean, you know, you said ALS herbicides on corn. How tolerant is corn? You know, Regiment, Gambit, Grasp, you've got all these herbicides that are going out there. What have you been seeing there?
[14:31] Tommy Butts
So, you know, Gambit is actually labeled in corn. So that was totally fine. Grasp, I don't remember if I've sprayed corn with Grasp so that one's a good question. I know Regiment – Regiment hurts corn pretty good. You know, that can be some pretty significant injury from that one. The biggest one I haven't had calls on those on corn. The biggest one I've had on corn was Newpath going on to corn. Right, drifting from some Clearfield rice and things and that was it's been a couple of weeks now, it was a little bit earlier on and it, you know, it was pretty good slug so it pretty well eliminated that field. Now corn, I would say is at least, corn is more tolerant to Newpath than beans are to like say Gambit or Regiment or that kind of stuff. Now it's still not good, but normally you can at least kind of see a drift pattern. It may not completely kill it, it may set it back, that kind of thing. So I haven't had like a, a full on phone call where it was the entire field was destroyed basically by Newpath drift to just kind of set it back. You saw the injury, right? It probably was going to cost a little bit but it wasn't, wasn't like as serious as what we're talking right here where it's full replant decision kind of thing.
[15:39] Jason Norsworthy
You know, I mean, a guy’s got some rice and maybe some coffee bean, indigo, maybe even some pig weed in some row rice, you know, Loyant I think would be a good option if you have rice next to corn. Again, Loyant and soybeans don't mix well together. You can see severe, severe damage with that, I think even more severe than what we're talking about with some of these ALS herbicides. But, you know, we've done some work with volume for the past several years in corn and even looking at a 1x rate and you don't want to spray Loyant over the top of corn, but I'm confident based on the data that we have, Loyant would work very well where you've got rice fields next to corn fields.
[16:25] Tommy Butts
I would agree too on the on the cotton front, to some extent, cotton is a lot more tolerant to Loyant than what beans are. I mean, a lot more tolerant. You know, it's still going to bang them up, bang cotton up. But it's way more tolerant than what soybeans are. So that, again, even in that situation, it may be a slightly better option, too.
[16:42] Jason Norsworthy
Yeah. And so, you know, along those lines, I mean, as we're sitting here and we're talking, the other thing that I'm getting phone calls on the fields that I’ve walked, is we're going to we're going to flood or we're trying to get to flood now and we've got big barnyard grass in these fields. You know, I'm seeing a lot. I mean, it's just it's been perfect, we were wet early. I'm seeing a lot of nutsedge in these in these fields. A lot of guys you know, coffee bean, indigo come on late as we're going to flood and big barnyard grass, sedges, coffee bean, indigo is where we are out there today. And that's what we're trying to kill. And that's, again, the reason we're back at these Permit, Permit Plus, Gambit, Regiments, etc.
[17:31] Tommy Butts
I got a quick question along those that line too. So, I get a lot of questions anymore about like you just mentioned, right, either we're going to flood and we already got big, you know, coffee bean, you know, jointvetch, those kinds of things. Or it's, you know, in areas where they notoriously, notoriously say every year we're going to have escapes post-flood where those come up and hurt us because of the black seed potential. You know, is there something that can give us residual to stop some of that later on? And so, you know, that's one of the areas, you know where I was recommended Gambit going out pre-flood was to provide us some residual for that. Now it does cause the risk for kind of some of these drift things we're talking about. But one of the ones I was going to ask you about, too, is League, you know, say going out pre-flood to try and give us some residual for that type thing. Again, it's another ALS. Is that one as severe on beans and cotton and corn as like some of our other ones? Any idea on that front?
[18:23] Jason Norsworthy
I really don't. That's a good question. I mean, I have sprayed some League, it's been many years ago now that I look at League. League is a very good residual herbicide most of the time, but when I've used League, it's been on the front end. It's a higher use rate on the front end and you get very good residual again, coffee bean, indigo, etc. with that. But now, the rates are lower post-emergence. I would venture to say that yeah, you probably would get some residual, but you're not going to get the level of residual that you do when you use it when you use it pre-emergence.
[19:03] Tommy Butts
Yeah. And it's so I'm with you too. I think I've done League in the symptomology plus. I can't remember it offhand. I don't think it's as severe of injury on like soybeans and other things as like the Gambits, Regiments, Grasps of the world. I think it falls in the middle. I think it's a little worse than like Permit, Permit Plus. But I think it's better than like the Gambit, Regiment, Grasps.
[19:23] Jason Norsworthy
That's what I remember also. Again, it's not, Permit, Permit Plus is extremely safe over an STS soybean and I was thinking that there was a little bit of yellow flashing associated with League so that that may be an option there is you're going to flood but you know barnyard, as dry as it is, these weeds are stressed. And so, you've got big, stressed weeds out there. And one thing I want to remind all of our listeners is that systemic herbicides just don't work well on a stressed weed. And with that, you know, I've been recommending a lot of Propanil as we're going to flood, Propanil again to beat back some of these black seeded weeds, as well as to get me a start on the nutsedge. Propanil can do a very good job there. And in a lot of instances I've been recommending put some Facet in, you know, Facet again it's a broad spectrum herbicide is going to help pick up a lot of weeds as well as provide some residual when that water hits it. So essentially what I'm saying is let's spray it, let's get some water on it. And then once we get the water to it, I think there you're turning around and we're coming back in and you're coming back in with something like a Regiment Rice Star, maybe a Regiment Clincher or if you've got if you've got Clear Field or you have a Clear Field, you look some like a Newpath or I'm sorry, Beyond possibly post-emergence. I’d go with Beyond, Rice Star, something that's going to help take out some of this big grass. But do not start with your systemic herbicide. I would save the systemic herbicide until after you get to flood. I think you're going to be much more happy with the performance there. The other thing is don't sit there and wait a long period. Once you get the water on there, let's try to get the systemic herbicide on there, but it's going to need Propanil first just to kind of burn some of this back and try to keep that keep that barnyard grass and these other weeds manageable for the point that we're not trying to manage 10-inch, 12-inch barnyard grass, because I think most folks are not going to be satisfied with any herbicide that they put out there if they've 12-inch barnyard grass.
[21:46] Tommy Butts
Yeah, just to add on to that too. So, you know, we've talked a lot past couple of years about our best salvage treatments, you know, kind of being what you just said, right? Like a Rice Star Regiment or a Rice Star Beyond, you know, something like those along those lines. And those still are our best options. But if we're in that scenario, that's not necessarily a good option, particularly with our heat and drought we're in right now. You know, like you said, it's just not, you know, none of those are going to give us 100% control like we're expecting. It may be the best option, but that doesn't mean it's 100% control. And so, you know, we're going to spend $60 an acre there on that treatment. We're going to expect better than what we might see. Now, I will say, when we did that, that that study a couple of years ago, I was out and this ties into what you're saying anyway to don't wait for the post-flood treatments to get the moisture and everything else to apply something. When we did that study a couple of years ago, we had pre-flood and post-flood treatments for the salvage. And the post-flood treatments in my study looked better from a weed control standpoint, right? Like once you got moisture, it looked like we got better control than what those pre-floods look like. But what was interesting is when we carried it out to yield, even though the pre flood treatments looked a little bit worse on the weed control front, they yielded better because we knocked out that competition earlier. And so exactly what you're saying, you're just going at it a different approach, right? Use something else, beat that stuff back, get it to stop competing at least for a little bit, and then you can kind of finish it off post-flood. But it's important to get at least something out now to beat it back and help on that yield front. Because otherwise, if you just wait for post-flood, wait for that moisture, we've lost at least on the yield front, and it's not helping us as much as we really think it's helping us, even though we may eliminate all the weeds out there post-flood, it's already cost us yield potential. So I just want to emphasize that too, from another standpoint that exactly what you're saying too, even if you approach it of trying to hit it with Propanil or Facet or something else beforehand, even just to beat it back, that's going to help from that that yield standpoint as well.
[23:45] Jason Norsworthy
I think probably in the next 7 to 10 days we’ll be 80 to 90% flooded here in the state. And so also once we get to that point, I think another herbicide that comes into play for us is Rogue. I know we talked about Rogue on here, places that we've got, places that we've got sprangletops in the field, rice flat sedge in the field. Again, a lot of this rice flat sedge out there today is resistant to the ALS chemistry. So, again, Gambit, Grasp, they're not going to do anything to it and Beyond, etc., they're just they're not going to do anything. And as we get the flood, if we've got a field, where again, we can manage the water, we can hold the water if we go to flood. And I've got rice flat sedge or sprangletop, I don't think there's a better herbicide out there in terms of controlling those. I'm also going to tell you, our listeners here, I'm not a fan of Rogue when it comes to barnyard grass. It's not, it's marginal at best. It does provide some suppression, but that is not a tool that we're going to use to get barnyard grass back under control.
[24:57] Tommy Butts
We also I talked about too, so tying in Rogue with some of our conversation about like the late season coffee bean and jointvetch escapes. You know, it's not a it's not a home run hitter for controlling those weeds species. But we have seen where it will, you know, knock it on its head and set it back. And I think there's some potential there for at least removing the black seed from those plants. It may not kill it, but it should knock that out. And we got some research projects to try and look at that this year a little bit more in detail to make sure that it's actually doing that. But again, that may be just an added benefit. Like you said, if you've got some of those late season coffee bean escapes, plus you're going after sprangletop or other things. It may help you on that front too, which is pretty nice just to have kind of an add on benefit there.
[25:38] Jason Norsworthy
You know what my experience has been on that, Tommy, is that, you know, if the coffee bean is under the water, I'd say two thirds or three fourths of that coffee bean is in the water. You're going to be very, very effective with Rogue in terms of going in and reducing the stand of coffee bean indigo, and knocking out that black seed. If you're out there and you've got 10-inch plants, 8-inch plants, and you've got a 2-inch, 3-inch flood, in other words, the majority of that that plant’s above. And now I've only got the stem that's in the water. You're going to have to have something else you're going to in you're going to have to have a Gambit, you're going to have to have an ALS herbicide come through there and try to clean that up in that instance. So it's really a function size.
[26:22] Tommy Butts
Yeah. No, that makes sense too. Otherwise, I mean, that's really, that's pretty much the extent of our options as far as big barnyard grass and some of those other weeds go. Once we get late in the season like this, we've kind of exhausted a lot of our, you know, solid, good options. And so we start getting limited in a hurry. I mean, is there anything else that you got on that front to try to help?
[26:41] Jason Norsworthy
There's not. The one thing that I would say, again I was having a conversation about this this morning, again, with an individual. This, you know, last year, we had a lot of folks that were that were throwing Facet at barnyard grass. And I'm talking extremely, extremely late. And I think we may have ran into some issues in terms of impacting rice yields as a result of that. It's, we need to get these things controlled early on, again, as we're trying to go to flood or as soon as we get to flood, we just need to be also mindful of cut-offs. All these herbicides, there's cut-offs associated with those. There's a lot of research that has gone into that, a lot of data that's been generated to basically verify those cutoffs and now get a lot of phone calls, individual call me and say, I understand the cut offs of this. And yeah, it was it was that a week ago, two weeks ago that I really need to spray this. And no, I can’t recommend that because again of the consequences associated with it.
[27:46] Tommy Butts
Yeah. And particularly with something like rice, once we put the flood on and it starts getting close to reproductive, when rice goes reproductive I get real nervous about spraying anything on it because it's, all bets are off in my book on what can happen to that. You know, that seed head in those kernels as it's starting to move up that shoot and so that, it scares me any time we start getting to PI and beyond you know spraying anything there because it's just, it's a bad timing to try and mess with rice in any form or fashion. So I mean, I think that kind of covered all our time. Is there anything else that you wanted to hit on last minute here, Jason?
[28:19] Jason Norsworthy
That's, that's what I had for today.
[28:22] Tommy Butts
Awesome. Well, you know, I think we covered a lot of good topics there. If y'all, you know, y'all listeners out there have any questions about, you know, topics we talked about today or recommendations or anything else, please feel free to give us a call at any time. And, you know, a lot of these situations, maybe a situation-by-situation kind of thing. So, feel free to call and give us what your situation is. And we can kind of make a better judgment call on a case-by-case basis there. But just a couple other things. As always, with all our outreach activities, make sure to check out our website for any updated information there. Grab an MP44 if you haven't yet or make sure we're looking at that for all the different information that we might need as far as adjuvants, application, timings, things like that. Jason mentioned cutoff timings are coming up. We do have a publication out there that that provides the cutoff timings for all of our commonly used herbicides in the state of Arkansas. I can't remember. I think it's like the MP 566 or 567. I can't remember right now, but you can Google that and find it online as well or pick it up from your local county extension office. Make sure to sign up for our texting service. If you haven't, haven't you just text weeds to 501-300-8883 and we send out a bunch of these different updates and pieces of information through that. And then, like I mentioned, just any time feel free to get a hold of us with questions. So Jason, thank you for joining me today. Any last-minute comments to anybody else out there listening?

Good luck, we still got a lot of year in front of us and good luck. And if you have any questions, again feel free to pick up the phone, give us a call. We'll do everything we can to help you.

Yeah, I like that message. That's been my message. After every phone call is good luck. That's all I can tell you, ha. So it's that time of year where it's just it's good luck on everything. But anyway, well, appreciate you for joining me. I appreciate everyone for listening out there. And thank you for joining us for this episode of the Weeds AR Wild podcast series on Arkansas Row Crops Radio.
