10 acre soybean field with a total of 6 waterhemp plants along the edge. The plants certainly will not hurt this year's crop. They will produce hundreds of thousands of seeds though! Taking 10min now to hand pull these 6 plants will pay greatly in time and money in the future.

I never thought I would answer so many questions about "murder hornets"! We hope that this helps understand this invasive insect! It's not in KY but there are some critters that resemble it! Go to the @WSDAgov for more info!!

Probably the steadiest cattle price week in KY since early March. Heavy feeders dropped $1 per cwt, calves gained around $3 per cwt, and cull cows increased nearly $6 per cwt. Source: @USDA_AMS. @KYCattlemen @UKYAgEcon #KYCattleMarkets

Good information about the Enlist soybean system from my #WiscWeeds colleague. These rules apply to KY soybean growers as well.
