Dealers Respond To Interest WILMINGTON, Del Farm supply dealership telephones throughout the Midwest are ring ing more often with calls from far mers asking about postemergence weed control. Deep in shattercane territory of Nebraska, for instance, Jim Nick lasson of St. Edward Coop said the new sulfonylurea grass control programs for com are getting a lot of attention. Du Pont Accent for com is the most recent low-use-rate sulfony lurea herbicide to receive full EPA registration. Com growers now have a strong postemergence wea pon against problem grasses and are turning to their ag dealers in greater numbers for assistance. “Farmers are getting into the new post programs; they’re the answer to the shattercane prob lems,’’ Nicklasson said. Dealers are responding to the growing acceptance of post prog rams by adding reinforcements in customer education and custom application equipment. Gary King, executive vice pres ident of the Ohio Agroßusiness Association, sees a gradual evolu tion toward post programs and says dealers are having to adjust. Dealerships throughout the com belt are educating their customers with extra seminars and meetings. Com growers seeking information about post products are asking about additives, use rates, cultiva tion, and application timing. “The dealers are going to adjust with the demand,” King said. “Most dealers are very education conscious right now. They’re edu cating themselves and their customers.” That rings true for Twin County Service Co. in Benton, IL. Its cus tomers are requesting technical Farmdale Farms Honored For Sales PRESCOTT, Wis.— Doug and Richard Tindall of Farmdale Farms, Trenton, N.J., received congratulations from Jacques Seed Company Regional Sales Manager Barry Hoke and Presi In Post Weed Control Jim Nlcklasson, fertilizer manager at St. Edward Coop, inspects shattercane treated with Du Pont Accent. Nicklas son said corn growers will be asking dealers a lot of ques tions about how best to include sulfonylurea herbicides for corn in their weed control programs, assistance concerning post prog rams. Not only is the staff keeping abreast of the growing technology, but in 1990 the dealership pur chased another Spra-Coupe to keep up with demand. “Dealers have got to be com fortable with the low-use-rate postemergence products,’’ said Jim Howard, crop specialist with Twin County Service Co. “I see the market turning to these products and dealers need to be there giving technical advice ” dent Curt Armstrong during the firm’s recent sales meeting in Las Vegas, NV. The Tindalls were cited by Jacques for their outstanding seed sales accomplishments last fall. *x In Johnsongrass-infested Frank lin County, IL, where com yields average 85 bushels per acre, grow ers are thinking post. “We’ve got some of the greatest weed assures in the country,” Howard said. “However, we’re seeing 85 to 95 percent control of shattercane and Johnsongrass in com with the new postemergence weed control. I think post will become a standard for com just as it has become for soybeans.” Jacques Seed Company is an international producer and marke ter of agricultural crop seeds including com, soybeans, alfalfa, grain and forage sorghums, sun flowers and grass seed.
