At three miles per hour, it covers 12 acres of weed control an hour.
“Annihilated,” “knocked down” and “zapped” are just a few of the words Jacobs uses to describe his weed control system.
One of Thistledown Farms’ many weed control tools is their sprayer chassis-mounted weed electrocution system.
Instead, mechanisms like weed electrification are part of their organic weed control toolbox.
Today, he serves as the farmer voice for organic weed control methods in statewide webinars and at field days, hosted at his own farm this past summer.
