The price of glyphosate continues to drop with clearout 41 now at 4.35/litre for the last month. From my understanding producers are tripping over themselves at this level to buy for next year. What I dont understand is with the strong CDN dollar could we not see even further drops?? Perhaps down to 3.75-4.00?? According to local dealer there are currently over 20 new applications to produce and sell glyphosate in Canada (good news for us). Also I see pricing as low as $8.00/gallon in the US, what exactly does that translate into CDN dollars/litre assuming 360g product?? When I do the math on it, it seems really really cheap, which leads me to think we are still be screwed here.

Clearout was the one registered under OUI, but was dominated by FNA to the point where the manufacter would not sell it in the USA, only sold to FNA for resale at higher markup in Canada. The new products under GROU are higher end products and can be brought across, but I think the are pretty expensive and may not be worth it. They are Touchdown IQ and Round Up Weather Max. DO you have a US pricing on those products??

I guess FNA can charge just enough to make it look that the Canadian dealers are screwing them. Then again, are they putting any money back into the communities like Canadian dealers are? I know they are hiring local people, building and maintaining infrastructure, paying taxes etc? Theres more to the price of the product than just the product. In Canada we have to piss around with all the French and Metric labeling, and registration so I guess if you are selling out of a closet, you don't have the overhead do you?

As I have posted before, the membership is irrelevant, they charge what the market will bear. I do not have a problem with that, it is the pretend notion that they are charging cost to grower becuase he paid a membership fee. That is not the case so why buy a membership. They lost their trail somewhere along the way. Actually, they fell of the trail at least 3 years ago.
