An already tight supply of glyphosate is now tighter. Bayer declared force majeure because of a mechanical failure at the manufacturing plant that supplies a key raw ingredient. NDSU Extension Weed Specialist Joe Ikley is advising farmers to continue to talk to their ag retailers. “If you get a price locked in, make sure you possession of the inventory.” Glyphosate is one of the most important chemistries available for corn, soybean, sugarbeet and canola crop production. “Even with crops like wheat that doesn’t use glyphosate in crop production, we might use that for pre-harvest weed control to make combining easier.”
