Titan Completes Renovations of Des Moines Facility

Titan announced the completion of a major upgrade to its manufacturing facility in Des Moines, Iowa. The $2 million investment is part of Titan’s multi-year strategic capital plan and includes the addition of two new 104-inch curing tire presses, which will accommodate the recently expanded AgraEDGE tire line.

The expansion of the manufacturing facility is part of a series of strategic moves by Titan to increase output capacity and better serve its dealers and end-users. With the additional output capacity, Titan will continue to meet demand for key large ag sizes well into the future. This will result in a faster turnaround time between order placement and delivery, reducing the need for dealers to maintain high levels of inventory.

"By upgrading our manufacturing facility and investing in new tire machines, we are taking the first step towards achieving our overall growth goals," said Lester Brewer, Vice President of NA Tire Operations at Titan. "This investment has allowed us to increase our output capacity for premium tires, positioning us to better deliver on the projected additional volume needed in the marketplace."

Video: Spring weed control in winter wheat with Broadway® Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam)

#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.
