Leah Guffey, WFMB, would like to hop on this Harley and drive it home. We were in the FMC farmer reception yesterday. The Harley is part of a contest the company is running. Our good friends Sally Behringer and Paul Redhage were on hand and so was Tyler Tuttle, FMC Retail Marketing Manager who I spoke with about their announcement for Authority Assist.

A new option for broad-spectrum control of broadleaf weeds with grass control assistance in soybeans is now available from FMC Corporation. New Authority Assist herbicide is the answer for effective residual control of tough broadleaves and grass control assistance. Soybean growers can rely on Authority Assist for complete broadleaf control, including control of small-seeded weeds, and grass assist, resulting in a cleaner start for increased yields.

Authority Assist is labeled for control of a variety of key weeds, including waterhemp, lambsquarters, pigweed, cocklebur, velvetleaf, Venice mallow, nightshade, morningglory, nutsedge, kochia, Russian thistle, barnyardgrass, foxtail and fall panicum. In addition, Authority Assist provides more effective control of many resistant biotypes, making it an important tool for an overall resistance management program in soybeans.
