FLATBED TRAILERS--GoBob Pipe & Steel, Bixby, Okla., introduces the Red Rhino gooseneck flatbed trailer, engineered and constructed to reduce metal fatigue for longer life. The frame, side rails and cross-members are all recctangular tubing, for stronger, more rigid construction without added weight. All Red Rhino flatbed trailers are built with a steel pipe torsion tube.

Herbicide controls grass, broadleaf weeds in winter wheat
Dow AgroSciences, Indianapolis, Ind., announced it has received federal registration for new POWERFLEX herbicide or use in winter wheat. Containing pyroxsulam, a new active ingredient, POWERFLEX provides excellent control of tough grass weeds, including downy brome, cheat, Italian ryegrass and wild oats, plus broadleaf weed control.
POWERFLEX controls a broad spectrum of difficult grasses and broadleaf weeds in winter wheat, including downy brome, cheat, Italian ryegrass, wild oats, Russian thistle, pigweed, chickweed and cleavers. POWERFLEXª herbicide also controls many mustard species, such as field pennycress, flixweed (tansy mustard), shepherdspurse, Jim Hill (tumble) mustard and blue mustard.
POWERFLEX offers growers improved crop rotation flexibility versus most other winter wheat herbicides. For example, it contains a short nine-month interval for rotating into crops like soybeans, sorghum, peas, lentils, sugar beets, corn, potatoes, canola and sunflowers in all geographies. Even shorter intervals for certain crops will be allowed in specific geographies.
POWERFLEX can be applied postemergence to actively growing winter wheat in either fall or spring. Monte Weimer, product technology specialist for Dow AgroSciences, recommends applying 3.5 oz./A of POWERFLEX to grass weeds between the two-leaf and two-tiller stages of growth, though its flexibility allows application on wheat from the three-leaf to the jointing stage with excellent crop safety.
"Through an innovative new molecule, POWERFLEX brings a new standard of performance for grass and weed control in winter wheat and will be a critical component for growers to achieve effective weed control in winter wheat," Weimer says. "POWERFLEX will help provide growers with cleaner fields, which can lead to higher yields and reduced dockage at harvest."
