FMC Retail Market Manager Sam Lockhart is seeing growers queue up for 2026. “Weed resistance is still on everybody’s mind, whether it be kochia or waterhemp, these weeds are out of control,: said Lockhart. “I routinely get asked questions about how we control these weeds, how we slow them down; looking at pre-emerges with Authority brands and Anthem Maxx has been top of mind here at the (North Dakota Agribusiness Expo) show.” Pending EPA registration, FMC will introduce a new herbicide resistance management tool in 2027. “This is the first new mode of action herbicide in 40 years; now it’s for rice, not for up here in North Dakota, but give us a few years and we’ll have a couple of modifications for corn and soybeans; that will do a nice job in dealing with resistant weeds.” Listen to the interview.
