A New Look for the Purdue Weed Science Web Page.

Know what's weird? Day by day, nothing seems to change, but pretty soon...everything's different. - Calvin, from Calvin and Hobbs

Change is about to come to the Weed Science page! Above is the new look for your Weed Science page. The appearance is consistent with the direction that Purdue University has been taking for their web pages. However, your Weed Science team would like to hear from you. Check out the new page and let us know what you think? Do you like it the way it is now or do you prefer the new look. Comments can be sent to Glenn Nice, complaints can be sent to Bill Johnson.
