There is an interesting article in the July issue of No-Till Farmer .

Glyphosate resistant pigweed Georgia

"No-Tiller Losing Pigweed Fight"

Dyersburg, TN, farmer Eddie Anderson a 15 year veteran of No-Till PLOWED under 1000 acres to combat glyphosate resistant pigweed. Also in the article "glyphosate resistance is the single largest threat to production agriculture."

I cannot imagine undoing 15 years of work due to a weed control issue.

We have a customer and crop advisor that is working in Georgia and has seen some tremendous results with SuperCal 98G as part of his comprehensive soil restoration and fertility improvement program.

I believe that these pictures demonstrate that the practices that Verity farms promote can help you combat glyphosate resistant pigweed.

Additions of SuperCal 98G help eliminate Resistant Pigweed

In “Weeds and Why They Grow” (Jay L. McCaman), its shown that pigweeds grow best in low calcium soils. We know through work done by Dr. Don Huber and many European researchers that glyphosate is a strong calcium chelator, making it unavailable to plants.

Howard and the Verity farms staff can explain how they have helped farmers combat weeds, disease and improve yields though better soil fertility principles. He can be reached at: 712-567-4145.

On a final note here is a like to what he has accomplished in Iowa. http://blog.calciumproducts.com/posts/field-day-update_-verity-farms.cfm

In my short but busy career in agriculture (crop scouting, production seed, insecticide sales, and agronomy sales) I have never seen roots like Howard has achieved.
