April 14, 2021: Does Fall Fertilizer Matter to Winter Wheat?
Check out our video to answer that important question!

February 22, 2021: Don’t get “Agitated” when mixing your herbicide spray mixes!
Check out our video on the proper mixing procedure for the Enlist herbicide program. Creating a successful herbicide tank mix takes proper planning and most importantly, following the proper mixing order. If the proper order is not followed, spray solution antagonism can occur and herbicides and or adjuvants can separate from the mix and cause application issues. The spray ingredients can fall out of solution, application rates are applied incorrectly, which can lead to inadequate herbicide application and ultimately lead to pesticide failure.
