Crop Talk

Will walking beans, as a method to kill weeds, make a comeback? I'm actually talking with some southern Iowa farmers that are considering hiring bean walkers to clean their fields. Why? They can't kill some weeds in this year's bean fields. They are going to spray one more time and if that doesn't work, they are calling in the humans! What a flashback to the 1980's. Are you having to walk your bean fields? Have you heard of anyone in your area even whispering this old way of killing weeds?

Thanks for sharing,
