TIME TO DROP THE GLOVES!

saskfarmer, I share the frustration and am pleased to see someone actually doing something rather than just talking. However these are Trans-national Corporations you are dealing with, supposing no one on the Prairies seeds a crop could you survive with no income? Monsanto and Co could because they are still selling product around the world. Unfortunately with their world wide market dominination these huge parasites could survive and outlast farmers in any one country boycotting their products.

But alot of them would loose their jobs. And word would reach the top I think. SASK#3, What did they tell you when you said that to them???

I was told that Monsanto Round-Up (I'm sure all chemicals), is priced differently all over the world. For instance, it's only $2/ac in Brazil.

I find a lot of the price descrepency in the world sort of strange? There is a lot of talk right now about this cheap urea coming into North America and they say China can produce it cheaper because of low natural gas prices? But everytime the old gas company wants to justify a price increase they cite "world gas prices" have risen? Now is that true or is it just North American gas prices have risen? And how much of that high price is due to government taxation?
In reality I think price has more to do with what the market will bare than what is really a fair price? I think the latest Roundup price changes will show that?
I also wonder if a lot of high prices here are due to government taxes and regulation? In other words when you have a big parasite on your back(federal government) do you need one hell of a lot more money?

Its funny the independent phoned back and if I am serious he will monday talk to his boss and get back to me by 5:00 with an answer.
I think in Saskatchewan Most dealers are scared shitless that they are going to have a rough year and any sale is a sale.
As for different prices around the world yes it is true they price according to market and subsidies.
If its the US then price higher than canada and mexico is even cheaper yet.
In China one can buy Glyfos by the tanker for 1.00 US a liter.
Thats monsantos base cost.
What a great system.
