W**d Management Workshop for Small Farms

Effective W**d management is crucial in agriculture. Weeds compete with crops for resources and can harbor pests and diseases, ultimately impacting crop quality and profitability. For effective W**d management, a combination of control management strategies and practices should be used.

Learn about the W**d management tools to help keep weeds under control this growing season. Topics covered include tillage and hoeing, W**d identification, cover crops, mulches, and pesticide safety.
