Amazing how fast resistance happens, we’ve never had an issue killing marestails before. Sprayed 2x with 32 oz Cornerstone 5 before 1st cutting, then w/40 oz after 1st cutting (all with Class Act NG & Strikelock). I hit this waterhole twice, so they lived through 144 oz of 5#.

Farmers are fed up with the fertilizer industry's unchecked pricing power, and for good reason. This is an issue we've been working on for years, and this week marked an important step forward. We're proud to join major farm organizations from 18 states at FED UP, a conversation with the Chair of the @FTC, to deliver a unified message: while fertilizer companies post record profits, farmers continue to face mounting financial pressures and farm closures. It's time for greater transparency and accountability in the fertilizer industry. We appreciate the FTC for listening to farmers' concerns, and we're hopeful this conversation is the beginning of meaningful action to shine a light on pricing practices that have disadvantaged producers for far too long.

Wheat farmers use crop protection tools to manage weeds and help keep wheat affordable and available.

The Great American Cotton Plan is about one thing: Putting American cotton first again. Real “_____” wear cotton. 👖🌱 Americans. Cowboys. Farmers. Families. MAHA. Because cotton is real, natural, American-grown, and made by U.S. farmers. Here’s the plan 👇    ✅ Promote natural American-grown fibers over synthetic, plastic-based materials   ✅ Expand domestic cotton manufacturing and textile production   ✅ Increase export opportunities for U.S. cotton producers   ✅ Strengthen support for cotton mills and processors   ✅ Protect cotton growers from market volatility and adverse risk   ✅ Modernize facilities and expand production capacity   ✅ Support long-term profitability for America’s cotton farmers      This is about rebuilding an industry that supports jobs, rural communities, American manufacturing, and our agricultural future.      Plant, not plastic.
