I'm not sure that is an exact quote, but that is the message.  I went to the Beck's Seed southern Illinois show today and caught a talk by Ford Baldwin (see articles by him at http://deltafarmpress.com/author/ford-baldwin ).  He discussed Roundup resistant weeds and some things we need to be doing.  I would suggest visiting Beck's Atlanta show (http://www.beckshybrids.com/company/fieldshows.aspx) and making a stop past the soybean tour and hearing what Ford has to say.

RR resistant pigweeds, palmer amaranth, marestail, warterhemp ... scary things.  For instance, any waterhemp plant will produce 20,000 seeds.  Ford said, "When you get the soil seed bank so high that 95% control is a failure, you have a problem."

Are we creating a future problem relying so much on glyphosate?

I was already planning on using Liberty Link beans on about a quarter of my acres this year because of a marestail control problem.  I'm strongly considering 100% LL on my beans this year.  We already rotate our chemistry. Corn is planted with a "conventional" preplant herbicide program, and is RR incase I need to come back in for problems.

I know, some are going to say this is hype, something Sonny is promoting to generate seed sales.  But Ford doesn't strike me as someone you'd buy out that easy. What he is saying makes sense, and I'd sure rather err on the side of caution.

What does anyone else think?

Oh, and before anyone asks, no, I am not employed by or associated with Beck's.
