    The era of low commodity prices is forcing farmers to rethink what inputs they can and can’t live without. While the overall goal of any growing season is to get a plant out of the ground in optimal health, it’s hard to pick any growing condition in which a farmer wouldn’t gain some level of benefit from a seed treatment.
