Farm4Profit Podcast · Specialty Crops: What Every Row Crop Farmer Can Learn · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

We still got to keep the weeds out.

And it's one of those things too, right, with something like Hulk, oftentimes we feel like in the coastal horse year, right, the specialty crops area, we felt like the row crop guys get all the fun stuff.

So we were glad that we got Hulk, you know, versus it being a new soybean herbicide or something like that.

It depends on the crop, right?

So some do, some don't.

But yeah, for the vast majority of the crops, we at least have some tools to get post.

One of the biggest issues we would have, depending on the type of crop, especially cucurbits or potatoes or things like that, is these viney crops, they're going to cover the ground.

So it's hard to get into the field from a post standpoint.

We still use a lot of metal to control weeds, right?

We've still got a lot of equipment, you know, tillage that comes through the field cultivation.

Every single one, we've got some sort of residual.

Most of these, we've got some sort of post coming in, even if it's, you know, another layered residual in some scenarios before vines close up or before we can no longer get through the field.

Yeah, we do have some airplanes that go, especially from a fungicide standpoint, not as much from a weed control standpoint.

But luckily, a lot of these, a lot of the viney crops are typically shorter season crops, right?

We think cucumbers are roughly 40 to 50 days.

Potatoes, potatoes are going to start super early, but, you know, they're not necessarily, you know, 120, 140 day crop, right?

Yep, right.

Yeah, especially in that sweet corn market, right?

Because that sweet corn market, there are BT varieties, but for those conventional sweet corn acres, yeah, they're in there for about a two or three week span.

They're in there almost every other day.
