Take Action’s 2026 Herbicide Classification Chart Now Available!
Do you know how many different modes of action are in your spray tank this fall? How about next spring’s burndown application, or the postemergence pass you’ll need to tackle your summer annual weeds?
If you answered no, you need the 2026 Take Action Herbicide Classification chart. If you answered yes, you still need it – to check your math!
That’s because simply rotating herbicide products or tank mixing multiple products doesn’t mean you are automatically using multiple modes of action.

Pasture and Forage Risk Protection? – Enroll by December 1st
It is no secret that hay producers and pasture managers in Ohio have experienced lower production in the past two years than the previous several years due to significant drought in parts of the state. Similar to row crop production, weather risk can present significant challenges for our livestock producers who produce their own forages and/or graze livestock. Those producers may consider Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage (PRF) Insurance as part of their risk management strategy. Enrollment in this insurance product closes December 1st each year.
