@McNeilBJ Thanks for sharing! Curious if you see yourself changing your pre or burndown chemistry in the future as you get more and more comfortable with the system and savings profile. I’d expect products like status or other more expensive contact herbicides will be more appealing.

We have sprayed 1,300 acres of soybeans, first pass, with our See and Spray Ultimate.

See and Spray tank 1 is applying RU and 2-4D plus additives.

Tank 2 is broadcasting Pre's.

533 out of the 1300 got the burn down chemical. All acres got the Pre's

We saved 60% on our burn down chemical, over $7,000 on this app alone. The tech fee was $767 ($1/acre where nothing was applied)
That's still over a $6000 savings.

@agrobaz Definitely agree with you there. Flumioxazin and sulfentrazone can definitely bite back if you don’t get enough water through the year or if you have low organic matter. Are you getting charged by JD for every acre of GoG still?

Tough to imagine penciling out a profit per acre in an environment where you are buying inputs with a cheap dollar and your output is being tariffed by our largest export markets. Something has to give here. #canadianag

@packyM Can I see your permit though?

@Redwards40 Best of luck Ryan! Wishing you guys well timed (and formulated) moisture to get it in the bin

Ask me how I feel about paying $45 of Carbon tax on $17 of natural gas in April…

Just spent the last week in Dublin, Ireland learning about the unique science that @_LifeScientific uses to reverse engineer chemistry! Their high quality standards and science are game changing in the market. I’m so excited to get the business going in Canada, stay tuned!

@kowalchukfarms1 Hey if retailers do it, why not farmers!

1/2 One of my career highlights at FBN was a husband and wife at a trade show who told me that they saved enough money buying inputs from us to take their whole family on a vacation. Come help us make family farms more prosperous! Hiring 2 roles in Alberta right now. Let’s chat!
