Industry and Farmers React to Recent XtendFlex Approval
With the Sept. 28, 2020 approval of XtendFlex soybeans, farmers and retailers across the Midwest are sharing their reactions to the news. The new soybean stack features tolerances to three herbicides: glyphosate, dicamba and glufosinate. Until EPA approves dicamba for over-the-top use, farmers and applicators will only be able to apply glyphosate and glufosinate on the soybeans.

✅ Soy #harvest20 done on Sunday. ✅ #XtendFlex approval on Monday. The bar might be low for 2020, but September is looking pretty good. Come on October, how about an #Xtend approval and #Cardinals World Series. #notaskingforalot pic.twitter.com/VIhsVXVVGs — Shannon Hauf (@ShannonHauf) September 29, 2020
