    Chemical company excuses

    In the last year I have had chemical performance wrecks. ...

    What do others hear for the excuse it doesn't work.....here are the ones I have heard....

    1. Too cold
    2. Too wet
    3. Too dry
    4. Too late on in crop. ...but the preseed burn didn't work .....also theor product.
    5. Nozzles



    What will it be this year after spraying 3 times with the product that was supposed to work....

    1. It's building resistance. ?
    2. I shouldn't have worked the ground last fall?

    So this year I am calling often to let them know what I am doing....

    Talking to my retailer I am one of the highest use per acre of some of these products.....they just shrug their shoulders....

    Too wet - too dry
    Too hot - too cold
    Too deep - too shallow (pre-emerge days)
    Too fast - too slow

    Too bad.

            If you were a consumer of a product, would you buy it if it had a label that read like a herbicide label, with all te disclaimers? They're well covered.

            Don't forget about the sun rising in the west and setting in the east on the day you use it, otherwise results may be not be satisfactory.

                Transorb was a disaster last year and I was adding in express or db858....absolute disaster results.

                The first thing they look at is the weather before and after. They presented me with that data first off.

                Then well its a little late to do much .....well why the **** didn't anyone get out here pronto.

                Then they said the barricade in crop was showing signs of working....it looked like a ****ing canola field at harvest with hawksbeard.....

                I have no sympathy for any rep male or female anymore.....they stood in my field and ****ing forgot what they said a month previous exact same spot and ****ing shrugged their shoulders.

                  Well bucket , your not alone , not by a long shot .
                  Sad thing is , it is becoming far too common with the big three unless you farm 20,000 plus acres .
                  Nufarm makes good products as do others .

                    Welcome to the club !
                    My son said to me last year that I was a little harsh to the girl that came out....I told him what their chemical cost me ...holy shit....Yeah don't feel sorry for the pretty girl.... she got paid....we didn't....

                    And I don't care if they leave crying anymore....

                    This year it may be a call to Tony.....monsanto had plenty of issues in Manitoba last year while they told me my issues were uncommon....lying ****s.
