And now, a message from our friends from Brandt Agriculture Products. The Brandt high-speed disc is built to manage residue, prepare seed beds, and level ruts in the toughest of conditions.

With sealed disc hubs and minimal maintenance, it's designed to get the job done right. Plus, you get your choice of disc blades and finishing options to match your fields.

Let's just take waterhemp again for an example. That's one a lot of people like to talk about. So if we go out there and spray atrazine-based product. Let's say atrazine. Spray atrazine on waterhemp. You've got one mode of action that's working there. We know that there's atrazine-resistant waterhemp out there. By looking at it, you can't tell if it's atrazine resistant. It's not holding a sign that says, hey, I'm resistant. You don't know. How do you know? Yep. So you think, all right, let's throw a couple of modes of action out there, or maybe we throw three. And so we talk about not only modes of action, but effective modes of action. Yeah. We're spending a lot of dollars. Spending a lot of dollars. You want effective modes of action for the weeds that you have a problem with.

Ladies and gentlemen, farmers, ranchers, and distinguished guests, thank you for listening to the Farm for Profit podcast, where we discuss the latest ideas, methods, trends, and techniques available to help your farm achieve higher levels of farm profitability. Remember, if you aren't farming for profit, you won't be farming for long.
David Whitaker 2:08
All right, guys, it's David Whitaker with Farm for Profit Podcast. We're doing a What's Working in Ag segment. And I came up with this What's Working in Ag a long time ago. And I just wanted to talk with farmers at the coffee shop about what is actually working. That's what I want to take home. So I'm here at the Corteva booth with Jeff Moon from Minnesota, market development specialist. And we got to interview the other day and learn that you are a lifer in agriculture. I am. Which is pretty awesome. Jeff, what I want to talk about today is a little more on the serious side is weed control and impact disease and insect pressure. And what I want to go with is what is working? Tell me about what we need to know as farmers, like we're at the coffee shop, like what's working with you guys?
Jeff Moon 2:55
Well, really good question. So there's all sorts of products that people can use out there because I think there's all sorts of ways farmers like to farm, all sorts of ways farmers like to control weeds. Some of them like to go with a heavy pre-emerge program. Some like to go with a post-emerge program. Some obviously do two-pass programs. Some are minimum till. Some are no-till. So we really want to talk to folks about what their farming operation is like, how they're set up, and what goes. We've got some great high-quality products here.

How does weed pressure impact crop yield?

Jeff Moon 3:23
Just for example, I would start in corn. And I would say one that really works for us is Resicore Rev. People are familiar with that Resicore Rev name brand, that Resicore brand. They know it controls weeds. This Resicore Rev brand, now we're able to extend our application window all the way up until the corn is 24 inches tall. So that gives us great flexibility if we run into a weather situation that might get us delayed. Also has great great tank mix flexibility. Sometimes folks like to mix it with 32% or 28% and then use some ATS.
