Corn and Soybeans At Risk From Giant Foxtail Weeds
A farmer could lose up to 28 percent of corn yield or 24 percent of soybean yield due to giant foxtail competition.

The report notes profit opportunities exist for efficient weed farmers as costs rise with infestation. An upcoming wool pool meeting is announced for December 20 at the Poors Cerris Marin Bureau building with a chili and oyster supper and a call for cooperative participation.
