Atrazine

So here's the double standard.

Atrazine, still widely used on farms in this country, was banned in Germany in 1991 and across the EU in 2004.

Glyphosate, the chemical in Roundup, is restricted in Germany.

It's largely banned in private gardens, parks, playgrounds, school grounds, and pre-harvest spraying is strictly banned.

I believe a lot of that is some bad woke things that are happening, but also a lot of it can be related to some of these overload of pesticides.

Atrazine is one.

So in the studies, Atrazine was actually linked to get this, the company that makes the pesticide hired a guy of scientists to show how safe their product was.

Well, His name was Tyrone.

And he actually found the opposite.

It's worth it when you shower, when your children are showering in the water.

I'm telling you, it is an absolute chemical explosion because they're breathing in not just the chlorine, not just the fluoride, but also all these pesticides that are actually coming into the water in your county filtration systems aren't filtering them out.

Atrazine, it's in the water, that chemical that causes the hormone disruption, male frogs, female.

You know, everyone makes fun of Alex Jones.

It's an old Atrazine story.

He was talking about the frogs are going gay, the frogs are going gay.

There is actual truth to that story.

The problem is you can only use a half a pint of Dicamba.

You can throw some Atrazine with it.

Now, there are a lot of people that will use Husky FX instead of putting the Callisto pre-emerge.

But now that we're starting to see more HPPD-resistant waterhemp and Palmer pigweed...

I mean, and some of the other technologies that are now available in Milo.

I think there's, you know, again, our better opportunity is are ahead of us on our days going forward.

I think probably one of the things I see the most, and I would be curious to hear you all's thought, but we kind of oftentimes put Milo in and we don't, we're kind of we don't always plan for the best results so we'll put it in and see what happens right and if it comes up then we're like oh no now what do we do right it it's not we're going to have to do something with it right and and again I think it's back to what you know we've talked time and time again if you want to treat it as a real crop and you want to be profitable to me with it you have to plan accordingly you have to plan as if it's going to go well right so I think things like, in particular, Milo Aggressive pre-emerges with Atrazine are good.

I like the Emiflex program.

But I throw Sharpen in.

Sharpen instead of Atrazine will give you way more response on your weeds, and then you don't have to worry about carryover, groundwater contamination, all that stuff.

Save your atrazine for post.

You're putting a pound on post, which I hope you're not rotating back to soybeans.

So you can, you can't do the perfect study, which is dosing people with BPA or dosing people with atrazine.

And we didn't even mention atrazine, right? Let's talk about that for a second.

Atrazine is big because A lot of people, they remember when Alex Jones talked about the gay frogs.

You probably remember that.

A lot of people cite that at me because it's a true story.

It's interesting.

And now it's become more and more defined.

Atrazine, second most used herbicide in North America, after glyphosate, of course, Roundup.
