Weed Control Strategies is the focus of the next Conservation Tillage Club breakfast program Tuesday, Jan. 28 at the Plaza Inn in Mt. Victory. The meeting will begin at 7:30 a.m. with a complimentary buffet breakfast followed by the program at 8 a.m.  The program will feature Harold Watters, OSU Extension Field Specialist, Agronomic Systems.
