I was wondering if there is a herbicide you could recommend to use to kill any potential weeds where I plant potatoes and corn? Either before planting or after the corn and potatoes start to emerge. I till my soil twice before planting. After planting I use a rototiller or hoe to get at the weeds. Last year I was gone for a couple trips and when I got back home the weeds had taken over and I couldn't get them under control.
Thank you

Thank you for reaching out to ask2.extension.
As a volunteer I am unable to suggest any chemical. If you go to extension.umn.edu and search for chemical to control weeds, you may get a suggestion from them.
