If commodity prices doubled and your herbicide costs were half, would you be more likely to spray a late-season soybean herbicide?
In the fall of 2005, corn in our local area bottomed out at $1.30 per bushel. Soybeans were under $5.
Today in my area, soybeans are more than double that price and corn is more than triple.
Compared to 2005, soybean herbicide costs today are roughly half of what they were then.
Here are some herbicides listed in reverse order of how late you can apply them, and I’ve noted how much each product has dropped in price since 2005.
