JRI and CLEVER

[furrowtickler]

We let all the other guys in the area sell it this year - not worth our risk this year. P&H sold it willy nilly for Christ sakes.
So where did we ever promote it ? Ever ?
Word of mouth to those who knew better - that's it - ever.
Don't piss on me - the writing has been on the wall for everyone else since early June. And the warnings were out there that this year it could be a very big potential problem. It still may be , and could very well be, ass covering by the line companies and never a problem, but if it is all I am saying and others for months now, it may not be all roses even domestically now.
Unfortunately a lot of ac were sprayed before the 'real' warnings were put out this year and to see the b/s now is not right at all to those who used it under false presumption. This b/s should have been much more clear by late winter because the whole industry already knew the direction it was going to do.

From what I understand if canola has clever on it or any grain has manipulator on it your marketing options are greatly decreased (maybe non-existent?)

Glad we didn't use either......was looking into Manipulator but chose not to due to registration. P&H also sent out a letter last winter saying they had banned manipulator.

Maybe they're working on a "program" to buy canola treated with it. ....;-)

Question: where is Health Canada's PMRA in this?

[SASKFARMER3]

And the shit show continues as they have their foot on our Neck. Isn't it a wonderful country where Bull shit runs the show.

How does that affidavit read?

[wmoebis]

Which one? The one that tells them what you hauled in your truck last, or the one that tells them what class of grain you are hauling? Or the taking new ones that will tell what variety within the class, or the other new ones that will tell them if you used manipulator on any crops or the one that tells them if you used cleaver on any crops.
Any of them that takes the liability off anyone else and puts it directly on the producer.

[farmaholic]

Again.... Did PMRA approve it's use on canola?

[BreadWinner]

Clever has full approval from the PMRA!!! It was registered at the end May to be used on canola. What a slap in the face to producers who used this chemical. I have heard some companies will still buy it but they need to know to seperate it and direct it into certain markets. All because they haven't set the MRL in Japan. There was a two week gap between approval and companies telling producers not to use the product, right in the spray season window. What do guys do that have contracts signed but have sprayed their crop with clever? I suppose you will be on the hook for getting out of the contract as well as you won't be able to market your crop. I would like to see some leadership by grain companies on directing the sprayed crop just like Triffed flax or they will end up with a big mess on their hands.

For Canada it is registered however export markets not.
