Three U.S. States to Promote Beef Cattle Genetics on Trade Mission to Russia

Three U.S. States to Promote Beef Cattle Genetics on Trade Mission to Russia

By Amanda Brodhagen, Farms.com

State officials from Kansas, South Dakota and Montana head to Russia to promote U.S. beef cattle genetics in the Northern Plains.

According to the federal Agriculture Department’s Foreign Agriculture Service, Russia was the largest market in the world for U.S. cattle exports. The eight-day trade mission is being funded by the U.S. Livestock Genetics Export, which aims to promote markets for U.S. livestock producers.

Representatives seek to build a relationship between the two countries and promote U.S. beef cattle genetics. Key stops of the mission include Moscow and Novosibirsk.

#CortevaTalks brings you a short update with Cereal Herbicides Category Manager, Alister McRobbie, on how to get the most out of Broadway® Star.

Significant populations of grassweeds, including ryegrass and brome, can threaten winter wheat yields. Spring applications of a contact graminicide, such as Broadway Star from Corteva Agriscience, can clear problem weeds, allowing crops to grow away in the spring.

Broadway Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam) controls ryegrass, sterile brome, wild oats and a range of broad-leaved weeds such as cleavers. It can be applied to winter wheat up until GS32, but the earlier the application is made, the smaller the weed, and the greater the benefit to the crop. Weeds should be actively growing. A good rule of thumb is that if your grass needs cutting, conditions are right to apply Broadway Star.
