With harvest activities starting to wind up in some areas, farmers are looking at their fall weed control.

Weeds need to be actively growing in order to get the best result.

Crops Extension Specialist Shannon Chant says fall weed control or suppression is helpful in preventing issues in the Spring.

"Definitely, things are setting seed before emergence in the Spring. If they set seed before even seeding, then perhaps depending on how Spring is you're kind of eliminating some of that competition," she said.

Chant says now up until freeze up is a good time to focus on weed control.
