While the recent rains have really helped to move crops along, weeds are also getting a jump.

Angela Brackenreed, agronomist with the Canola Council of Canada, is reminding producers about the importance of keeping your field clean early to reach maximum yield potential.

She had this advice for applying weed control products.

"There is crop up now and we've had some really windy days. We need to be using as coarse of a droplet as possible, that can still get you the coverage and water volume that you need. Keep your booms as low as you can and travel slower to reduce the amount of fine droplets."

Brackenreed notes all crops benefit from having a clean field early on.
