Glyphosate market drying up

[blackpowder]

I started my career spraying with an open tractor. I predate gloves and masks. (We were small farmers)

Here's what I do know. (I am still small).
?????? I now use a sprayer on 6 x the acres with up to 4 passes per acre.
We never insecticide.
I've never been affected by chems nor do I have any allergies.
Some chems make some people sick. I get it.
Some groups have a smell and 'taste' that are obvious.
Gly definitely not one of these.
I do however, acknowledge that in some crops it is used a fair amount.

I've met Don Huber. A brilliant mind under that conspiracy hat.

Warmer and wetter season ag regions use one heck of a lot more chemical treatments from field to fork than we ever, ever will!
How many times are stored grains fumigated on average in many countries?? I'll wait....
How many grams per hectare active are applied to some crops?
How many times is fruit sprayed before picking in some countries??
I'll wait.....

I concede that pre harvest gly doesn't "show" well.
Not sure how I'd compete without it.
As all costs follow yields upward.
We have resistant WOats issues here as well as the need for aggressive dessication.

Focusing on one product on the lower end of the toxicity scale is a disservice to everyone.
We are using flawed biases yet again and again.

Once more we are burying the whipping post without comprehensive thought to ramifications. Or whole picture study. Sound familiar??
Figure out how to feed the pop.
Figure out who else is doing so and how. Figure out replacement tech while maintaining GDP.

Ag policies in the ever shrinking First World are brought to you by the same people who designed the carbon strategy. Anything at all smell familiar??
Get off your horse and design tech Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America will readily adopt.

In the meantime, consider how narrow minded your singular crusade really is. How contrary to the big picture.
Don't be a Chuck.
Be an advocate for your industry not a Benedict Arnold. Do better, find better.

Good post except for the last paragraph, unlike sf. Only reason he's up in arms is because tighter regulations and eventual disappearance of gly threatens conventional farming methods.
We can and we must do better.

Ban glypho and hundreds of millions will likely not afford to eat. The ones telling you how toxic rup is are the same ones that want to ban herbal remedies and over the counter vitamins "for your safety". Put two and two together Austranada.

You're the only one I know of that has come to that conclusion. Substantiate your claim.
Outright ban may not be needed. The market will dry up on its own. Time to call it a day, straw getting chewy.

Just put "Glyphosate" in the google search bar. These are the four top videos that popped up. Reminds me of the war on the cheap and safer than tylenol ivermectin. Heck they even went after aspirin when it showed promise in reducing the symptoms of covid by 50%. Actually safe, generic and effective big pharma/big chem can't have that can they.

Pay attention to the agenda we are being fed a steady diet of propaganda. The process is called "demoralization".

Happen every time. As soon as foodstuffs become plentiful, areas that don't need to use pre harvest try and make it an issue for marketing purposes. Then when shortages come it totally disappears as an issue. I don't use it on every field but do some acres that need it badly every year so it is a great agronomic tool and one that my farm can't do without. In one of your posts Austranada you mentioned that in the wet harvest of 21-22 pre harvest gly was used extensively in Oz but now that your back to typical harvest conditions you don't need it. There is your clue.

I am pleased that glyphosate prices have come back down to a decent price. Under $5 per litre, more than a 50 percent fall from the highs last year. Regarding the OP post, we hardly ever use pre harvest on wheat and then only if there is a real bad weed problem. Its been a open fall and with the fall moisture its been a great fall spraying opportunity. A good glyphosate spraying job in the fall after harvest pays dividends next year with cleaner crops and less need for in-crop herbicides. Who remembers fighting Quack grass? It has been a lot of year since the last time I saw it in crop land on our farm.

That’s a good price, I haven’t seen that low, is that for a full truckload to get that pricing?

Been years since I sprayed stubble, seems like even a decent harvest weathers in early.

Do you guys have access this formulation

Or put it this way, what's the strongest formulation you can get other than dry granular?

Are you talking 360 gram/liter or liter REL.?
haven’t saw anything less than $5.95/lt for 540?
