Massive canola pods. They’re massive because the DEKALB® 73 Series combined with the Roundup WeatherMAX® system is the most consistently high-yielding power couple.

It doesn’t get much easier than this.

CleanStart®

A clean slate.

We see a field that is ready to be seeded to canola. It will get off to a great start because it received a pre-seed CleanStart® application. CleanStart® is the only non-residual product with advanced burndown technology that is registered for use ahead of canola. Give your canola a chance. We’ll put you ahead of the game. ©Grow Community of Independents CleanStart® is a registered trademark of Nufarm Agriculture Inc.

A beauty of a canola crop. This InVigor® L150 canola will not be outperformed.

And on top of that they used Liberty® herbicide to minimize fear of weed resistance and Proline® for disease control.

Doesn’t security feel good?
