Serious in-crop firepower for cereals
|
Three in-crop cereal herbicides provide proven control and have the grower fan-base to prove it.
|
- Controls key broadleaf weeds including kochia, cleavers, narrow-leaved hawk’s-beard
- Wide application window (apply from 2 to flag-leaf) with excellent crop safety and flexible crop rotation the following year
- A great option for oats when tank mixed with MCPA Ester.
|
- A premium cereal broadleaf herbicide for control of cleavers, dandelion, hemp-nettle, Canada thistle (suppression), kochia, wild buckwheat, narrow-leaved hawk’s-beard, white cockle, night-flowering catchfly and scentless chamomile.
- Multiple modes of action with a low use rate… it’s like bulk in a jug
- Can be applied from the 2- leaf stage to the flag-leaf stage of growth and ideal for the black soil zone.
|
- Controls more than 30 of Western Canada’s key grass and broadleaf weeds, including Group 1-resistant wild oats
- Multiple modes of action for proactive resistance management
- Offers excellent control with flexible re-crop options
|
Each of these products get GREAT reviews from growers. Read some of the reviews below and consider recommending these superior products to growers this summer.

Growers love FMC’s in-crop herbicides
|
Read what growers are saying about our products.
|
Barricade® II herbicide Never seems to disappoint
|
I have used Barricade® ll in my cereal rotation for quite some time now. I’ve experimented with other brands but have reverted back to this product due to a trust factor that I have established with the fact that it never disappoints with eliminating the weeds or at least slowing them down to give the crop a chance to thrive without competition.
|
Travallas® herbicide Broad spectrum of weeds controlled
|
Travallas® is an excellent product with broad spectrum of weeds controlled, works excellent on some of the tougher weeds that other products don't get. Reasonably priced and wide range of tank mixes.
|
Predicade® herbicide Weeds gone
|
This chemical gives me the peace of mind when I apply it that I don't have to go back and check to make sure the weeds are dead. I know they are dead. Great chemical.

Six gadgets to make planting season better
|
Here are six gadgets to make your season flow. None of these ideas are super high tech. They’re just helpful tools that will make a busy spring and summer more enjoyable.
|
- Headlamp. They’re $20 at Canadian Tire. If you don’t have one yet, you’ll wonder how you got along without it.
- AirPods. You’ve probably rolled your eyes at the dude standing in front of you in the lineup for coffee still wearing his AirPods, like he’s too cool to interact with the world around him. It’s time to come over to the dark side. AirPods are designed for noise cancelling and integration with an iPhone. If you’re an Android user, the Google Pixel Buds are well rated.
- Drone. Pack your drone in the cab with you for the day and take a bird’s-eye peek at a grower’s fields while you wait for the seed tender or water truck to arrive. DJI still produces the best drones but you can find cheaper ones that will be a great entry into this new hobby. Plus, you can probably write it off as a legitimate expense.
- Security camera. This is the time of year when your home might be empty for long stretches of time. Invest in security cameras for your home and shop. Arlo sells a starter package for a few hundred dollars. Set the cameras up so they ping you on your phone when there’s movement around doorways or the yard.
- Bluetooth speaker. You can hear the tunes from a tiny Bluetooth speaker from a surprising distance away. JBL produces a wide range of speakers in the $100 range. The smaller ones can fit in your pocket for easy transport between job sites.
- Solar charger. Spend a few bucks on a solar charger and toss it on the dash of the cab of the older truck that doesn’t have a charging station. Let it sit there for the summer soaking up the rays. Some night when your phone runs dry you’ll be glad it’s there.

Dana Singbeil grew up on a grain farm south of Rosetown, SK. But while she was in school, Dana was pretty sure she was going to be a high school math teacher.
|
Her love of numbers led her to take agribusiness at the University of Saskatchewan. She felt that was a good way to keep her options open in the agriculture industry and still play with numbers.
She spent her first summer job as a student working in the field for a chemical company. Being in the field was a game-changer and solidified her passion for agriculture. She set aside her plan to become a teacher.
Dana loves agronomy. She also loves numbers and business. Solving puzzles is also something she enjoys. Dana says figuring out the best option for a grower’s pest problem activates her love of problem solving. The business side of her job has her digging into spreadsheets. She loves what she does.
Besides puzzles, Dana also enjoys music. Her two boys are 5 and 7 years old and she already has them enrolled in piano. They also love sports.
A few of Dana’s retailers engaged with FMC Clean Fields, Community Yields in 2022. As a community-minded person, Dana is looking for good sales of FMC fall herbicides in 2023 so more organizations in her area can receive funding.
