For weed control in soybeans, especially for grasses, you need a back-up plan to your back-up plan this season, says Jared Greuel, founder of Greuel Farm Services, based in east-central Illinois
“There are too many foundational products that just aren’t available for whatever reason,” he says. “People are going to have to expand their comfort zone to figure out what they can use. Whether we like it or not, or want to do it or not, it’s just the situation we face.”
The force majeure that was announced on branded glyphosate last week is a case in point. Greuel says the product was already being priced out of the market for grass control in soybeans, with many growers telling him they wouldn’t pay for it.
