Pasture Management Tool, Farmer Sentiment Up

Corteva's UltaGraze is a pasture tool that offers both fertilization and herbicide control in a single application, benefiting producers dealing with pasture and range drought stress.

“So, UltiGraze is our pasture weed and feed tool that we suggest it provides fertilization and also herbicide control all in one pass. So it's you know more convenient, time saver, lots of pluses on that side, and you're still getting your weed control and your fertilization.”

She says while having moisture is ideal when it comes to application, it can be applied to already drought-stressed ranges with a variety of grasses that it can be used on:

“multi-graze Fescue, Bermuda grass, also Bahia grass as well.”

Additionally, Crose says that residual use is another benefit with varying degrees based on soil type. And farmers' sediment strengthened in July after three straight months of decline, according to the latest Purdue University CME Group Ag Economy Barometer, the index rose 13 points during a month to a reading of 126.
