Weeds are a constant companion on every farm—but that doesn’t mean they need to win. During a recent The Farm Gate Journal webinar hosted by Missouri Organic Association (MOA), four experienced farmers came together to share their best strategies for managing weeds without synthetic herbicides. The panelists—Tom from Fair Share Farm, Katie from Greengate Family Farm, Clint from Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture , and Kevin from Springfield Community Gardens—offered a wealth of knowledge drawn from decades of organic and regenerative farming.
Here are some of the top tools and techniques they use—and their insights on what really works in the field.
