Forty years ago, grass seed growers Willard Smucker and Walter Kropf, from the Willamette Valley, decided that they wanted to develop a drift-free alternative for weed control. At the time, before GMO's, our unique to the industry sponge weed wiper design took off! Years later we remain extremely relevant in an agricultural industry that needs alternative methods for eliminating resistant weeds. We like to say that Willard and Walter were ahead of their time, because our weed wipers are perfect for organic farmers and for the resistant weed problem many are facing. Our drift-free sponge weed wiper design has been modified and developed over the years, but the original mission and foundation that Willard and Walter developed has not changed. We continue to build quality weed control products for farmers across the world, and we are grateful for the legacy Willard and Walter left behind.
