I've found that with Liberty doing away with the rewards some places aren't adjusting pricing like they are "supposed" to. It ends up being about $11 an acre difference between Roundup and Liberty beans for just a single pass. Supposedly there is a Liberty herbicide generic that is identical and works as well but I am skeptical so I am going to buy a couple of jugs to try it. I have found a bulk deal on Liberty through a neighbor who is trying to start dealing some herbicide so that will still save me a good bit of money but I am still going to go back to 50/50 beans with Liberty and Roundup. It's a pain just from the standpoint of having a clean planter and spraying but there are only a few fields that have to be Liberty to keep mares tail and pigweed under control so I'm going back to what I did several years ago.
I've also decided to go back to using Treflan (sp) on tilled acres. It has been YEARS since I used it. At the time I had liquid on the field cultivator and a tank on the three point of the tractor but those hoses have long since rotted off. I will just use the sprayer and go over it same day and work it in. Does anyone else still use (or has gone back to) a product like Treflan? Margins are even tighter. I'm looking at things I know work and are more cost effective for these acres.
