Joe's Thoughts
When using Glyphosate at lower rates, always add extra surfactant. In addition, when spraying in Western Kansas, Western Nebraska, or Eastern Colorado, the more aired climates, it seems to help to add extra surfactant and up the rate of water to 10 gallons per acre when weeds are under stress.
When using lower rates of Glyphosate, it is important to use the right nozzles. I like the XR Flat Fan Nozzles from Teejet or Delvan. Using these at 6 gallon per acre at 20-40 PSI gives you great coverage....and coverage is what it is all about. Don't forget to use drift retardant when spraying next to sensitive crops.

The key food program headed by the United Nations wants major industrial countries to develop a grain reserve to help during times of high commodity prices.
Though DTN's hypothetical ethanol plant has been struggling with negative profit margins since January, two analysts who follow profitability closely said some doomsday scenarios may be premature.
