18 Cover Story UI Weed Tour
2010 Snake River Weed Control Research Tour: University of Idaho College of Agricultural and Life Sci- ences, Kimberly Research and Extension Center. The tour this year was held a week later due to the unusual spring weather. The cold temps and extra moisture delayed the planting as well as growth of plants throughout the region. Undaunted, the research team kept their cool and organized a delightful field tour complete with friendly discussion and ending in a satisfying lunch.
