Herbicides are letting us down and something will have to change with weed control. This year here in Northwest Iowa herbicide resistant weeds have reared their ugly heads in beans big time. nearly every bean field has weeds to some degree. Some fields the weeds are so bad you can't see the beans and it doesn't matter what was used for herbicide. The drilled beans are cleaner though. The wet humid conditions we have this summer has probably brought on the white mold in the drilled beans. This morning I drove past the last field of 38" row beans in the neighborhood and it looked decently clean. Not weed less but not bad by any means. This farmer had some of his farm custom planted with 15" rows and those beans are slightly cleaner. We might see a comeback to wider rowed beans so we can cultivate again. I cultivated 80 acres of beans this summer. First time I have cultivated for at least fifteen years. It's just as boring now as it was then only I cultivate 12 rows now versus 6 rows back then.
