Herbicides in short supply

A central Iowa farmer is hearing herbicides are in short supply.

Steve Kuiper grows corn and soybeans in Marion and Mahaska Counties.

“I talked to a good friend of mine that works for BASF (and) he said availability of products like Liberty and generic Roundup (are low). With Liberty, he said it’s very difficult to get. They’re trying to manufacture it as fast as possible.”

He tells Brownfield it sounds like a shortage of freight carriers is partly to blame.
