Calling all farmers and ag retailers across central Iowa!

Dr. Wesley Everman, ISU Extension and Outreach's new Weed Management Specialist, wants to gather input on the weed management challenges farmers and ag retailers in Iowa are facing. Additionally, he wants to discuss the ESA (Endangered Species Act) Herbicide Strategy and herbicide resistance. You are invited to bring your thoughts, comments, or concerns. 

There will two locations in central Iowa for Crop Reporting District 5, each with a session for farmers and a session for ag retailers, on Friday, April 4, 2025.
