Treating Seed

[bigzee]

Just think of how the seed treatments add to your rebate program cheque, that alone makes using them a no-brainer!

God, anybody reading that better understand sarcasm!

I like using them only because they are a good tax right-off. We need all the right-offs we can get her with these soaring prices. 😬

Ever notice how they promote the guy that got 7 more bpa using it but the average is only 3 extra bushels ....that means someone wasn't getting any benefit in order to average down....

I just use the cheap stuff Vitaflo on my barley seed for smut etc, it it wont get me any rebates so I guess I am not cool.

Cruiser Viberamce Quattro is $6.25 bu, that’s the “Cadillac” treatment. We are hardly getting that price for wheat or durum. So it’s hard to justify using it.
I use Raxil Pro way cheaper, doesn’t have the wireworm insecticide in it. Seed litttle heavier if needed if you have a problem with da worms.

Stay ahead of the pack....be "progressive" and give the crop the best of everything.

I like the look of the pink hoses, goes nice with the drill. Neighbours that go by and see that and say that guy is doing things right. Lmao

.....just say "yes" to Lumiderm on canola seed...because Helix and Prosper don't work anyway! What's an extra $80-$90 a bag anyway?
The neighbors will be impressed!

I have done alternate rows treated then go back doing the remaining rows untreated in wheat durum and barley for five years now and still looking for a return. Still going to treat half my barley this year and if no difference I will eliminate treating all together.

And get paid for a 3cwad....it's not hard to grow a 3cwad without all the extras....and if the weather cooperates it may still be a 1cwad without the expense. ....but you will still get the 3cwad price.....


I lose money on every bushel but make it up on volume. ....lmao.....

Yup, that's the successful farming model....spend more to produce more to get paid less.
