Beck’s Hybrids, a
leading corn seed company in Indiana, is teaming up with
Bayer CropScience
to offer growers an opportunity to earn up to $6.25 back per
acre when they apply Liberty® herbicide to their Beck’s stand
alone LibertyLink™ hybrids and Herculex® hybrids.
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 and even Roundup Ready volunteers. 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 stand alone LibertyLink hybrids and Herculex
hybrids from Beck’s, up to $6.25 back per acre.
“This partnership will provide growers with the opportunity to
implement the LibertyLink system at a better value than ever
before,” says Greg Weber, district manager for Bayer
CropScience.
The LibertyLink trait is available in all Herculex and Agrisure™
CB/LL hybrids. Agrisure CB/LL hybrids qualify for the AgriEdge
rebate program, but are not part of the Greenback offer from
Beck’s Hybrids.

Liberty, growers can contact their local Bayer CropScience
representative, or call 1-866-99-BAYER (1-866-992-2937).
