TUA on roundup ready or added to seed?

[Ron]

I had a call from P last night, they offered me seed 45H28 and TUA for 7.15/lb. I asked if it included TUA this year and he "thought so". I said if so I will take X# of bags at that price IF it included TUA.
He was supposed to get back to me today for the 9% discount by dec 6, no call yet(but I was in cell hell working all day).
Anybody know if TUA is included in bag price?

[R23O]

My seed was $6.50 a lb. plus another $3.00 a lb for the TUA and I didn't buy the good stuff like you are .

I purchased some 45H28 already. Price per pound similar to yours but that DOES NOT include the TUA. TUA is $156.63 per 50 lb bag. My rep told me that fee wouldn't be invoiced until March. Only had to pay for the seed right now.

[xman1]

Have you grown the 45H28 before? Did you like it?

[furrowtickler]

Your right xman, thats the way it is. Price may vary depending on volume from what I am told. We booked ours a while ago.
Seen two results of 45H28 beside Invigour 8440. H28 was 4 bushel better in one test, 8440 was 2.5 bus better in the other. No other R/R's beat H28 from what I seen it this area yet.
Neighbor had H28 in and it looked impresive and yeilded well. Whatched it from my deck all summer.

X man I have used RR for the past 10 years and have always paid my TUA end June for 15 bucks which is now 3 dollars per acre as you pay it on seed, you should not have to pay before that. I am using all invigor seed this year but when I did price the RR I thought I was told 15 dollars per acre based on 5 lb per acre seed and charged on the seed so why are they charging you 156.63 per bag TUA?

[xman1]

Yeah, I was a little choked to find out that they are actually charging more than $15/ac if the farmer seeds at 5 lb/ac. (It works out to $15.66) I am going to seed at 4 lb/ac in 09 so my TUA cost will actually work out to $12.53/ac. I think Monsanto probably saw the writing on the wall that lots of guys are seeding lighter and they are trying to get a little bit more out of us.

[Ron]

the $1000 question is how low can you go? I have seeded 4 lbs/ac with great results with invigor, I seeded a bit of 43a56 in 07 and it is a very small seed, 3 lbs would probably be enough. Probably?
