Giving crops a strong start is more important than ever

Every year brings its own unique set of challenges for farmers, and last year was no different. As farmers are making their final decisions for the 2026 crop season, their plans should be changing to adapt to the latest issues. Logan Dinkla, agronomic service representative at Syngenta, said 2025 had a few defining factors.

Farmer budgets are getting tighter every year due to the rising costs of inputs and narrowing profit margins. While it may be tempting to cut back on herbicide applications, Dinkla said that might just set your crops up for failure.

Dinkla said getting a strong start to the season will make things easier later on in the year.

When it comes to getting a strong start on the year, Dinkla said Storen herbicide can help crops emerge without early-season weed competition while also providing great residual performance.

Dinkla added that Storen is very flexible and can fit into a farmer’s crop management system in a variety of ways.
