Potential for wheat streak mosaic virus is all but certain if growers leave volunteer wheat in high plains. I highly recommend 100% control of volunteer wheat. No good will come from leaving it.

12 oz Assure II/acre 4 DAT on Pioneer Enlist hybrid 12904V. Seeing effects starting to show in whorl of glyphosate/ALS resistant johnsongrass. Will take 2 weeks to hammer it dead. Corn looks great on this new Vorceed hybrid with Enlist traits. @PioneerSeeds
