Chemical company excuses

[hobbyfrmr]

In the last year I have had chemical performance wrecks. ...

What do others hear for the excuse it doesn't work.....here are the ones I have heard....

1. Too cold
2. Too wet
3. Too dry
4. Too late on in crop. ...but the preseed burn didn't work .....also theor product.
5. Nozzles



What will it be this year after spraying 3 times with the product that was supposed to work....

1. It's building resistance. ?
2. I shouldn't have worked the ground last fall?

So this year I am calling often to let them know what I am doing....

Talking to my retailer I am one of the highest use per acre of some of these products.....they just shrug their shoulders....

The answer lies within. Are you complaining or humble bragging?

It’s just food for thought, you don’t have to explain yourself to me.

Lots of claims this year and the answer will be the plants are not really growing so cant take in the product because its the drought.

Oh, and dust is on them.

Sorry, Mr farmer thanks for spending but we got you-you Dumb F#$K.

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?


Jesus ****ing christ. ....

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?
