Last fall, we had the chance to talk with FMC’s Gail Stratman. We discussed the challenge facing farmers in 2025. We knew that cutting input costs would be an option that farmers would consider going into this growing season, but we mentioned a few places where cost-cutting shouldn’t even be a thought. As we are getting ready to plant in 2025, the vision has become more focused, and we need to think about the long-term effects of cutting corners.
Once again, we caught up with Gail Stratman of FMC and we took another hard look at some of these decisions. Once again, Stratman urges farmers to consider weed control as a “do not touch” part of their plans. Even if you are not an FMC customer, you cannot afford to make a decision that is going to end up costing you more than you are ever going to save by cutting corners.

We don’t know what the Ag economy will be like in two years, but good or bad, adding more expense to your future production to save a few bucks now is not going to balance either.
