Lanark, Ill.

"I tried SureStart herbicide as a way to get something different on the ground. I have guys that have been on a glyphosate-only program for seven or eight years. It’s time they switch a little chemistry and start going a different route.

"I used SureStart on two fields that had been giant ragweed disasters for the last three years. I could tell right to the line where the SureStart application had been made. When I visited the field about two weeks after application, the SureStart was still holding on. It delivered exceptional control."

"Many of our weed populations are showing resistance to atrazine, so we’re looking for better, newer weed control chemistry. I like SureStart because it uses multiple modes of action on weeds and gives me variety in a weed control program for corn-on-corn acres.

"I’ve been waiting for years for a product that has both broadleaf and grass killer in a premix. SureStart is very versatile when it comes to handling and applying the product — it's a good fit for our environment. SureStart is going to be a pretty big player for me this year."

Grower and salesman
UAP
Sidney, Ill.

"I farm about 2,000 Roundup Ready acres with my father on a family farm in the Longview-Sidney area. SureStart is a smart choice for me because it was designed for a Roundup Ready corn acre to begin with. It’s not a half rate of a herbicide meant for some other purpose and you don’t have to add anything to the tank to get good control. SureStart is truly tailored to the Roundup Ready corn acre."

Jack Powers
Certified crop specialist
West Central FS
LaHarpe, Ill.

"My SureStart trial consisted of treating about 40 acres. Half of the acres received one pound of atrazine with 1.75 pints of SureStart; the other half received just the standard rate of 1.75 pints of SureStart. I had it applied on a field that had previously been in pasture — I figured that it would be a good trial because of the high weed pressure. The results were excellent on both sides of the trial. My custom operator was able to delay the post trip of glyphosate because the field stayed fairly clean."
