Or you could pay an extra 20 cents a litre for a domestic low end glyphosate and keep some money in the community. Something to think about next time you need to drive 40 miles to get groeceries. Looking at my costs; fertilizer, fuel, and junk freight rates are what killing me not 10 cents an acre for my spring burn off. I'll agree that a message needs to be sent to these chem companies and I think it's been heard, but lets pick some battles now that will show us some real returns. On that note I just got back from Montana where regular gasoline (no doubt from Alberta) worked out to be about 62 cents per litre by the time the exchange rate was accounted for. That my friends is a real problem, especialy if we are going to be competing directly with american producers in the near future. Just some food for thought.

Buying local does not necessarily help the community more. The portion that stays in the community when you buy from your dealer is the margin he gets for the sale. The savings you make is all yours to spend as you see fit. If your bottom line is better you have more dollars to spend. The driving down in price of glyphosate has generated substantial revenues in everyones communities.
