Chemical company excuses

[bucket]

I should hear this year that the temperature of my spray water is too cold....

No bragging here hobby...just really pissed when Chem cos reps giggle on the phone.

Leaves are clean after a small dust settling sprinkle.

If my retailer is out spraying ....I should be able to as well...

Dont worry, still remember the absurdity of ag retail products. I was so dumb I just couldnt understand how the whole thing was upside down.
Yesterday I had a friendly reminder. I ordernpea inoculant in November. Confirm in April. Yesterday I called for delivery and ...........ooopsy......:it got sold! Normal pea planting season is over and there is no inoculant for 200 miles!!
The lady apologized. I said thats ok, nobody pays attention anymore.
I will get on the horn and find something.

I think you are missing the first one that comes out:

Must be your Water!

We have had fairly good response to a couple claims weve had, helps that I have a good retailer that goes to bat for me, usually get another round of chem, once got cash back. Worst problem its usually too late to do anything and the consequences of the poor spray job is beyond the value of reimbursement.

Having said that there were guys out doing burnoffs 3 weeks ago when the quack was just one leaf and no volunteer up yet. Other guys spraying prepass after crop been seeded 4 or 5 days. Lots of guys spraying at 20mph in the dust and wind. I'm sure the reps see enough farmer induced problems it isnt always easy to distinguish which is which.

They give me any crop rbis year and I ll hire the woman from the Tim Hortons in b c I think it was to go to their offices. Lol

"The ground is too hard." ...from my retailer....

My response was what does that have to do with weed control?

Curious what you use for surfactants with glyphosate? I find it can make a big difference.

[bucket]

AT the rates I am using i need no surfactants.

[samhill]

So that means you've not had any problems with glyphosate?

No tonnes of issues with the transorb.....tried some water conditioner ......used up the suremix from the Assure when mixing that as well. ....all round cluster****....

Although they are thinking the express might have taken this year on the NLHB....

Prickly lettuce and foxtail barley are not dying with 540 grams per acre. ...

Hi Bucket, I've had problems with various conditioners, but the best results I had were with straight glyphosate from 350 grams to 425 and
Agral 90 at .1 litre per acre. Not sure of Agral rate, always used rate on label. Definitely no AmSul. Likely you've tried it, so if didn't work b/c of water quality or resistance.
I'm not selling it and own no liability if it doesn't work.
Like a rep would say "to hot, too dry, too soon, too late, etc. I've heard it all as well.
Good luck.

Whats the Ph and conductivity of your water?

Not your issue..but wonder why companys are hard to deal with.
Maybe example we seen today.
Hauling canola to wadena. Large cloud showed up..pouring rain..wipers running on the trucks..and to the right we see a fellow out spraying..never stopped..turned at head land and Kept going..
I know the large farmer..and will complain that the roundup didn't work..so some screw it up for the rest of us..
