The rise of generic products has eroded the company’s competitiveness in manufacturing the herbicide, motivating a shift in its production focus to plinazolin for U.S. farmers.
“As implementation moves forward, it is important that federal actions reflect real world supply chain dynamics,” Daren Coppock said. “Agricultural retailers are prepared to work with USDA and other federal partners to ensure existing distribution channels continue to serve farmers efficiently.”
The executive order outlines why and how USDA will ensure adequate supplies of elemental phosphates and glyphosate herbicides.
While the EPA has set federal regulations for 2026 applications, some states are implementing tighter calendar deadlines and temperature cutoffs.
Almost two years ago, then-new CEO Bill Anderson said it was his goal to have the legal liabilities “under control” by 2026.
Working with Mother Nature may require adopting a new mindset, but for some farmers these four practices could be the ‘missing piece’ in having a sustainable, long-term weed management plan.
As herbicide resistance builds, Extension urges farmers to diversify control tactics and use as many tools as possible this season.
Drift reduction adjuvants help keep products where you want them in the field and deliver measurable yield results.
New high-speed disk models offer autonomous operation while See & Spray provides new upgrades, delivering more ways for farmers to manage heavy residue and stubborn weeds.
High-yield growers David Hula and Randy Dowdy say three things deserve your sharpest focus now: your planter, fertility program and seed.
A new multi-state monitoring network using unique diagnostic tools is hard at work, identifying herbicide-resistant weed populations faster so farmers can get a leg up on control before the problem gets totally out of hand.
Confirmed populations of glufosinate-resistant waterhemp are in Illinois with suspected resistance reported in at least six other states. Weed scientists say how farmers respond now will determine how long the chemistry remains a reliable tool.
A detailed “farming playbook” can help guide essential input investments and maximize ROI.
Planning for next season? Review the expert insights and recommendations from farmers and field agronomists on how to reduce costs and strategically reallocate resources.
With the outlook for high input costs and low commodity prices, the impulse for farmers is to cut their spend on products across the board for 2026. There is a more effective approach that will deliver better results and ROI, say Extension field agronomists.
The Supreme Court is reported to consider a glyphosate case in the coming calendar year.
Going into the final weeks of the year, many growers across the country are shouldering significant financial strain from land rent payments, rising input costs, and efforts to stay in business and viable until commodity prices improve.
AgZen’s first product, RealCoverage, can be bolted onto any sprayer and is the world’s only sensor and AI-based system that measures and optimizes the number of drops of crop protection products applied to crops.

Microscopic particles improve efficacy and could save farmers money on input costs.
Herbicides and defoliants are commonly used by farmers in southern regions to quicken the harvest period and reduce the risk of shatter loss and poor test weights. Now, Midwest growers and researchers are looking at how to use the practice.
Company leaders say the separation will unleash two distinct market leaders that are both farmer-centric, with technology and innovation at their core.
There are no easy answers to address the cost of fertilizer and other inputs, but having conversations with suppliers and financial providers now can help you leverage your buying power and minimize potential impacts from marketplace uncertainties.
If the legal challenge succeeds, the federal court decision would result in making the technology unavailable for sale or distribution to U.S. farmers.
“I’d hate to be the farmer who, because of a later-season application, meant an entire bin of soybeans was going to be condemned.”
A crop-protection startup is using AI and machine learning to identify and develop new active ingredients it says will help farmers solve issues like weed resistance faster and more economically.
Company leaders point to five highlights making them bullish on the future of its crop science divsion.
Amid mounting litigation, should Bayer stop manufacturing and selling its Roundup-branded, glyphosate-based herbicides, the potential fallout would have a wider impact on U.S. agriculture.
The additional financial provisions support Bayer’s stated goal to get glyphosate litigation and liabilities contained by 2026.
