Jena and Levi Ochsner of Sutton, Nebraska, say managing weeds in their cornfields is among the toughest production challenges they face.

Controlling weeds is key to turning a profit, Jena says. “Without good control, weeds can quickly start to overtake a field and have a detrimental impact on yield and profitability.”

Acuron provides a good return on our investment, and we continue to win over the weeds with it.

Five years ago, they found a highly effective tool to meet this challenge on their farm: Acuron^® corn herbicide from Syngenta.

“We’ve been using Acuron on our corn acres since 2015, and we continue to have great weed control,” Jena says “We’ve tested and scaled it and found that it works well on our soil. Acuron provides a good return on our investment, and we continue to win over the weeds with it.”
