Weeds Are Robbing Your Yields
According to a University of Missouri study, having just 16 waterhemp weeds in a 10x10 area can cost you 12 bushels per acre in corn, while only 4 waterhemp weeds in the same area can lead to a 3 bushel loss per acre in soybeans.
At $4.00 per bushel of corn and $9.00 per bushel of soybeans, that’s a total $75 loss per acre. Now multiply that across your fields. The numbers are staggering.
Weeds don’t just compete for nutrients—they steal your hard-earned profits.
Why Weed Control Matters
Weeds like waterhemp, giant ragweed, and marestail can emerge throughout the growing season, with some producing hundreds of thousands of seeds. Left unchecked, they don’t just reduce yields—they also create lasting problems for future crops by adding to the seed bank and developing herbicide resistance. A robust weed management strategy, starting with clean fields and maintaining that cleanliness through the season, can make all the difference in your profitability.
The Solution: Start Clean, Stay Clean With a Multi-Pass Herbicide Program
A multi-pass herbicide program is one of the most effective tools in weed control. This strategy includes:
