Looking for ways covers and herbicides can work together on your farm could help you increase soil health, control weeds and increase the effectiveness of your herbicides at the same time.

This increase in the presence of waterhemp is concerning, as it is a very prolific weed and can take over fields in just a couple of growing seasons.
