We invite you to attend the annual Michigan State University Weed Tour, beginning at the MSU Agronomy Farm located at the intersection of Beaumont Road and Mt. Hope Road on Wednesday, July 1. Registration begins at 9:00 AM with the field tour kicking off at 9:30 AM. The tour will provide ample opportunity to look at research plots and participate in some short field presentations. (Be sure to bring a hat and sun screen.) Participants can compare their favorite corn and soybean herbicide programs to other commercial programs and evaluate how new transgenic crops interact with weed management strategies. The morning tour ends with lunch.

The afternoon tours will begin at 1:00 pm. Choose from the following two options:

1. Non-GMO Soybean Weed Control Tour. Location: MSU Agronomy Farm.
2. Weed Control in Horticultural Crops. Location: MSU Horticulture Farm on College Road, south of Jolly Road.
