The First Step in Fighting the War Against Weeds

Soybean Trait Packages

Selecting varieties is one of the first decision you make for each growing season.

In previous years, the most important factors that came to mind were yield, maturity, disease package and lodging potential. This year, a new factor rises to the top…herbicide traits. According to Wisconsin Weed Science, there have been 20 unique cases of herbicide resistance in the state spread across 13 different weed species and 6 herbicide sites of action.

Resistant weeds are a force to be reckoned with, however there still are a few tools in the toolbox to help fight back. 

You can prepare for this fight, by first selecting a variety with an herbicide-resistant trait. Check your recent soybean purchase to see which trait(s) will go into battle for you.

Forage Management

As all farmers know, it takes a great deal of work (and some luck) to get a crop planted, grown, and brought back to the silage storage unit to be fed to our precious livestock. There are a variety of ways that we can add value to that plant before it gets harvested – but what about as we harvest and proceed to feed it out? .
