My concern is the relatively small amount of users with LL beans. What would anyone guess is the amount of LL beans in their area? 5%? Ask local seed dealers what % they sold.

So, we're all basing this salvation product on but a relatively few user reports compared to RR bean reports. I've been following all the LL posts here on NAT & it seems that their problems are similar to RR users. Resprays are not uncommon. Some guys are suggesting using MORE than 25 gpa carrier. If you spray much more you'll get stuck when you come back to the headland rows you sprayed first. So, if LL goes like RR and you go back a few years when users were spraying glyphos by the label at 5 gpa or so & now that same guy is spraying that same glyphos @ 15-20 gpa, that would mean we'll be up to 80 gpa with LL.

Then, what about yield data w/LL? Is there a yield hit with their beans? Or, does yield even matter any more when battling TWH & marestail?

At some point it may be just better to forget it & go to all corn.



No yield hit. Multi variety testing shows +2 bu for Liberty. Stine is the primary source for varieties. Not sure on Credenz breeding. Becks 298 is the best bean in our area if you want to look up one. We are going to handle LL beans from 4 different companies for next year to ensure supply because you won't need to worry about your neighbors most are switching. Just about all my customers have said they are switching.
