Manipulator registration?

[Daylate]

Just wondering if anyone has heard any word on manipulator receiving U.S. registration? Europe's been using the stuff for years, why is the U.S. holding back?

Probably the same reason as clever - one of the big Chem companies wants it so they can charge Tripple the $ .

Used it on all our Utmost and were very happy, Viterra has been very good to take all year so I wouldn't hesitate to use next year.

Mother Nature "manipulated" our wheat crop last year and never charged a dime yet cost us big time in the end. When we swathed (leave the straight cut versus swathing debate for another time), in some of the worst affected places the result was two skinny swaths off each canvas with a space between them, but could pick Iit all up thank goodness. No need to shorten a crop like that. The silver lining was the quality and it yeilded better than it looked, but I would have never called it a "good" yeild.

Manipulator has been registered in the USA for years... All this FUDD is spread by Canadian line companies.

I don't get it either.
Doesn't most of Europe also use the same pgr's as standard practice?
Who or what are they afraid of?
