U.S. farmers are showing their compassion and sense of community by donating hay, trucking and other items to fellow producers impacted by wildfires that tore through parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Colorado.

Below is a collection of Twitter posts documenting support efforts by farmers.


Galatians 6:10 reads "As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith."

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.
