50. Preventing Weed Seed Distribution from Combines

In this episode we speak with Daniel Smith, Southwest Regional Agronomist with the University of Wisconsin-Madison, about weed seed distribution from combines. Smith was a presenter at the Soybean Management Field Days held throughout the state of Nebraska, and spoke about his research on weed seed distribution, where weed seeds hide in combines, and how to perform a quick field cleanout to prevent spreading seeds within fields and to new areas of the farm.
