Herbicide Spraying Wrapping Up

Herbicide spraying is wrapping up.

Kim Brown-Livingston is a weed specialist with Manitoba Agriculture.

"We're really at the tail end of it," she said. "We've got some second sprays going on our corn and our canola and our soybeans but we're really late in the day on that and we're getting to the end of the appropriate crop stage for that.

She notes windy conditions have made it challenging for spraying this year, adding drift has been an issue for some farmers.
