[QUOTE="Kentucky Windage, post: 187480, member: 429"] Combines have a lot more power these days. Sending anything really green through them is still tough on them. You can hear them grumble. A lot of green weeds going through can smear the grain with green juices from the weeds , causing seed appearance issues. Train wrecks happen, but a lot of times it's just bad farmers not using multiple modes of action on their farms. A pre emergent herbicide is a must. Post emergence applications with more than one mode of action including a residual help. For those with weed issues, they should be trying to use at least 3 modes of action across the growing season. IMO the same guys who used and abused glyphosate ( wait till the weeds are all there and then spray OR 2 shots of glyphosate POST only) will abuse 2,4-D and dicamba tolerant soybeans as well, more than likely ruining it for everyone else. There are many cases of herbicide resistant weeds across the state. Different areas have different problems. Ragweed and waterhemp are the biggest problem in our area. When the crop starts to turn, weed problems shine like the sun. I drove past a field a couple weeks ago and I had a hard time telling if the guy was raising soybeans or common ragweed. [/QUOTE]
