Phil Krieg of Loose Leash shows how he leads a 14 dog group on a walk around Wellington s South Coast
Drivers stop to take photos and after a ruff day, office workers come up to Phil Krieg to ask if they can pat the group of dogs that drag him along the footpath. It s a hard sight to miss in Wellington, Krieg in his bright yellow vest walking a large group of dogs, moving together as calm and orderly canine collective. With Krieg as their leader, the dogs sit when they were told and moved to the side to make way for runners, other dogs and those walking on the footpath.
Corn harvest in the Midwest faced many challenges last year, and it all started with yet another challenging spring with more challenges during the growing season too. Phil Krieg, agronomy service representative with Syngenta says there is a number one item growers are talking about as we get closer to another planting season.
“The number one thing that growers have on their mind is weed control, making sure that they start clean and stay clean so that they can finish strong. My recommendation to growers is they should definitely sit back and know your weeds, know the biology of those weeds,” he explained.
