Like a Good Neighbor:Farmers planting dicamba-tolerant soybeans are talking to other growers nearby

摘要

Rfcandy Uhrmacher is tired of fight-rling Palmer amaranth. Its increase in his southern Nebraska fields is why he has decided to plant 100% dicamba-tolerant soybeans in 2018."We had some Palmer escapes last year; this year we aren't taking any chances," says Uhrmacher, who farms near Hastings.Most farmers have decided their soybean planting intentions for this year, according to a Farm Journal Pulse survey. Forty percent (411) of the 1,036 farmers who responded saidthey plan to grow dicamba-tolerant soybeans. Forty-nine percent (508) of farmers said they won't grow them, and 11% (117) are still undecided.
