The front line for battling weeds may well be Arkansas, where weed resistance to Monsanto's Round Up ready products has led to new GMO seeds that are resistant to applications of two or more additional pesticides, notably Dicamba.  Dicamba helps control the toughest weeds, but it can drift on to  other crops or Soybean fields that are not planted with the newest GMO variety.  This has led to extreme, neighbor,  public and political battles about the future for Dicamba and possibly other products as well.  To set the stage of what' happening from the farm level perspectives, we welcome Dr. Bob Scott, Extension Weed Specialist with the University of Arkansas for table talk: "weeds find a way". Attention is focused on Arkansas now, but other states are expected to follow.

Dicamba Bans: Weeds Win — Bob Scott, Arkansas Extension Weed Specialist - Farm To Table Talk

Is it best that our food is Local and Organic or Big and Conventional? Our view is “Both, and..” We don’t come to the table with a bias, except that good farming like good food comes in all shapes and sizes. Farm to Table Talk explores issues and the growing interest in the story of how and where the food on our tables is produced, processed and marketed. The host, Rodger Wasson is a food and agriculture veteran.  Although he was the first of his family to leave the grain and livestock farm after five generations farming in America,  he’s continually worked for and with farmers though-out America and around the world. From directly managing commodity boards and councils to presently building the strategic consultancy, Idea Farming Inc., the Farm to Table Talk podcast has been created to satisfy the curiosity of today’s engaged consumers.
