We are. Grew them this year and look good.

1. Technology works and TWH dies.
2. Yield appears to be there
3. Several liberty failures in our area
4. Yes dicamba with vaporgrip still moves must be cautious next season. Ive had issues too.
5. Keep applying layered pres and only use dicamba in emergency situations. Planting 10" rows next year instead of 30s.
6. Neighbor who we border over several hundred acres using xtends and makes sense for us to.
7. Dollar for dollar xtend program is cheaper when compared to liberty in our area.

Flame away but im curious what you all plan to do. I think the 2 year label will be drastically changed after next year and I may be singing a different tune.


I would love to see how the xtend program with xtend, fexapan, or Engenia is cheaper than 29-36oz of liberty. 36oz of Bayer branded liberty cost me $16.91 an acre.


And around here if you want totally dead weeds and (mostly) clean fields to the end it's going to take 2 passes of Liberty.



You need a better pre program if you have to spray twice. But spraying liberty twice is at least an option. It's not with xtend or flex star or cobra as they either won't work or have rotational restrictions. Here in Eastern Nebraska the liberty fields are mostly clean. The others are anywhere from disastrous to partially clean.
