Fight on Borer Expected To Aid In Weed Control
Green county's corn borer menace may aid weed control says County Weed Commissioner Fred Williams. Farmers buying sprayers for borers will also kill weeds, though equipment must be cleaned between uses. Spraying for borers starts early July while weed control is underway now. Williams notes thistle spraying with 24D and alfalfa finds. A proposed state level weed control bill would empower removal of noxious weeds if owners fail to act, with crews costing up to 20 dollars per acre. The cost of sprayers remains a barrier to broader use.
