Pick-Up Deadline for Dicamba Products


Labels changes for dicamba products for the 2022 season brings new application deadlines. Dicamba products for Minnesota growers must be picked up and applied by June 12, 2022 and for Iowa growers by June 20, 2022.


Please contact your AFS agronomist with any questions that you have in regards to the new label.

As we gear up for planting this season, monitoring soil temperatures is key to season long success.


Soil temperatures and planting depth directly translates to seed germination. Monitoring soil temperatures to ensure they remain above 50° for corn and 55° for soybeans prior to planting will optimize germination and yield for the season.
