“Well they seemed very healthy; they were vigorous early out of the ground until early flowering. It just seemed like they were just ahead of some of the regular Roundup we had planted. That was one of the main differences I noticed; it just seemed like to me just a lot of very early vigorous.”
“It takes the same time and everything else to grow a crop. But if you can get a few more bushels at the end, I mean that basically makes all the difference.”
