Herbicide registered
Refine Extra by DuPont is now registered for use with Banvel II to control kochia.
A tank-mix of the two products provides improved control of larger kochia plants and Group 2-resistant kochia. Refine Extra can be used alone to control wild buckwheat, stinkweed, kochia, wild mustard, redroot pigweed, Russian thistle, volunteer canola, flixweed, cow cockle, lamb’s quarters, hemp-nettle, lady’s thumb and chickweed, as well as cleavers when tank-mixed with Attain.
Refine Extra comes from the sulfonylurea, or SU, family of chemicals, which blocks the normal function of an enzyme that is essential in amino acid synthesis.

Hitch locator
The Magnetic Hitch Locator by White Company simplifies the often-frustrating task of lining up trailer hitches.
It is ideal for hitching boats, campers, flatbeds and fifth wheel trailers and it can be used on any vehicle that has rear-view or side-view mirrors.
The hitch locator consists of two reflector globes that are attached to masts and extend up to 60 inches.
The masts attach to the bumper and hitch using strong magnets and the globes extend above or outside the vehicle bed, allowing the driver to see where the hitch ball and trailer hitch are.
When the two globes touch, the hitch ball and trailer are aligned and can be hooked up.
The locater can be used day or night because the globes reflect the light from the backup tail lights.
The locater can rotate 180 degrees with fingertip adjustment and needs no tools to install.
