The 2026 edition of eFields is in progress right now, in the fields! As trials are being harvested on partner farms, data is being collected for analysis for the eFields Report. Follow along with us the next few months to get some sneak peeks of what the 2026 eFields Report will have in store.

The first sneak peek is on a study focused on the use of an impact mill as an alternative w**d control option in organic soybeans, in combination with cover crops and electric w**d zapping. The use of harvest w**d seed control (HWSC), w**d zapping, and cover crops provides a well-rounded integrated w**d management strategy for organic farmers. The goal: to reduce the w**d seed bank, which, in turn, could reduce the number of w**d escapes each year after multiple years of implementing these practices in the same field.

The 2026 eFields Report will be released in January - until then, check out the 2025 eFields Report and the impactful data and results from last season at go.osu.edu/eFields!
