Week of August 19th, 2022
Welcome to this week in AGvisorPRO. Our weekly roundup of featured questions, experts, content, updates, announcements, and more.
Top Question of the Week:
This week’s top question comes from a farmer out of Vermillion AB. Here’s what the farmer asked:
Does anyone have experience using the generic version of roundup? I have been using vp480, but can’t get it at the moment. Will it be as good or will we be sorry? Thanks in advance.

Some of you may not know it, but the AGvisorPRO team is spread across three continents and five time zones; we work remotely and met in person for the first time for a week at the beginning of July. We express our deepest gratitude to Point Forward Solutions for making that meeting a reality.
