Generally the simplest answer is the right one, and in this case its no different.

Capture all the RR acres and the Liberty acres with one stop shopping.

One of the biggest lies to farmers has been glufosinate and a group 1 graminicide are a good combo for herbicide rotation and/or resistance strategy.

There is some synergies with the mix. But if your relying on the group one...it's still group one.

Group 10 "could" be a good thing if they could find away to increase it's efficacy. Kinda weak.

Canola on canola stubble happens a lot. I literally have seen it with 3 different neighbors. One guy, rents from an older widow, last year of existing contract, he plants canola on canola. An 82 year old woman pulls out the contract and shows the farmer his breach of contract.
He wrote her a modest cheque as a penalty. The farmer continued being the smartest person in the room. Its discouraging watching a 60 year old farmer take advantage of an old lady and then behave like he is the smartest and best thing that ever happened on earth. Its like he is in grade 7 and has to impress everyone, but in reality he is a ****ing dodgy crook. I really hate those kind of people. They are old enough to understand right from wrong.

Dumb and Dumber, we already had r-up ready canola mixed into liberty link. Should not buy and let them eat it.

what a stupid f$&king idea , I told them that also . building us another weed that's hard to kill . put that in the same pile of shit as glyphos resistant flax . wouldn't that be a horrible weed . the sad thing is you will get this new gen of super weed whether you grow it or not . look at the mixed up mess we're paying $12 /lb for now ? always rr ready canola seeds in invigor now , it's allowed a percentage . this is what we get for millions of dollars of checkoffs ?

Here's an even more sobering number for you:

Average yearly 20,000,000 acres seeded X $50/acre seed costs = a cool billion....

What do they do with it all? Every year!


Kinda reminds me a bit like the oil industry on a smaller scale but the same spending practices when things are good ... drunken sailors.

Like with anything on the internet, as soon as there is the mention of "superweed", stop reading as the author knows nothing about weeds or farming.

I literally have not spoken to one farmer who wants stacked ll and RR. I guess there are a few tools who will bite.

Tweety ! All that talk about MS8, GT 75, and superweeds makes me wonder if your from OUTER SPACE !

Its actually GT73. Nope, just from SK!

Living in Sk has been out of this world lately ;-)

I told those proud plant breeders, at their fancy greenhouse opening 3 years ago, that it was a stupid idea. Why the hell would you willingly put that weed on your land. There is a reason we grow Liberty canola. And it's not because Liberty is good weed killer. It's because Roundup is a good canola killer.

So is phenoxy, and a good rotation. Its too bad farmers are completely ruining the canola industry by greed and laziness.

20 million acres @ 42.5 bu/ac (cocky average) @ $10.50/bu equals about $8.925 billion in gross value to the producer, is a billion in seed costs too much?

About one nineth of the value...
