Bayer CropScience
has teamed up with AgVenture
to offer growers an opportunity to earn up to $6.25 back per
acre when they apply Liberty® herbicide LibertyLink® standalone
and Herculex® hybrids.
AgVenture is a multi-faceted seed company that researches
genetics and evaluates product technology,
manages production, and provides sales, marketing,
administrative and logistical support for the nation's largest
network of independent Regional Seed Companies (RSC).
“From the start, AgVenture has been directly tied to the
agronomics and economics of each grower,” says Chuck Schneider,
AgVenture regional business development manager. “The Liberty
rebate program is an extension of the many opportunities
AgVenture provides growers — allowing them to best match the
agronomics and economics that optimize their profitability on
every acre.”
The Liberty/LibertyLink system is the only non-selective
alternative to the Roundup Ready® system and offers
growers similar convenience, ease and cost effectiveness.
Liberty herbicide has a unique mode of action, and
there is no documented weed resistance worldwide.
The 32 oz/acre rate of Liberty controls up to 120 tough grasses
and broadleaf weeds — that includes
glyphosate-resistant and tolerant weeds. Liberty is a
non-selective herbicide that is effective on tough-to-control
weeds such as woolly cupgrass, waterhemp, cocklebur,
lambsquarter, foxtail, velvetleaf and many others.
The Liberty Greenback Offer gives growers who use Liberty
herbicide on Herculex hybrids from AgVenture, up
to $6.25 back per acre.
“This program allows growers to utilize the Liberty/LibertyLink
system at a great value,” says Don McAghon,
Bayer CropScience seed treatment and technology representative.
“It makes it a better value than ever before,
while breaking the resistance.”
The LibertyLink trait is available in all Herculex and Agrisure™
CB/LL hybrids. More program details are

Liberty, growers can contact their
local Bayer CropScience representative, or call 1-866-99-BAYER
