FNA

I use to use them until they would drop off my stuff at someone’s place I didn’t know. They did this twice and I was done. I really liked their innoculant.

Is their fertilizer venture gone bust?

Bigzee I wonder if Adama would have more herbicide and fungicide options for you?

The FNA accounts receivable program Hobby outlined sounds interesting.

Where is Adama based out of?
They seem to have quite the selection.

Used to be Makhteshim decades ago. Originated in Israel. Bought their generic trifluralin when it still came in steel pails!

Gone global since then, obviously.
China based now to a great extent.

They were very concerned to see me off my game and started to organize an intervention but I assured them I wasn't going to convert. I promised them I would clean up my act. None of the previous organic producers in this area "relapsed".

“Relapsed” 🙂 Nice.
Wiping the coffee off my phone now.

The Hobbit from Middle Earth, brought that A/R Insurance up when the CWB was shut down and new market options became available....I never used it. That was the first time I ever heard of such a thing.

In that timeline I witnessed about 1.5 million dollars per year of organic grain exports into the USA. The A/R insurance was the most important part of the sale.
I understand it does not mean much these days but it was the motivating factor for me to transition to organic.
I recall a long thread about this, I think AVer’s were dissatisfied with the farmgate price of wheat and were looking for insight how to find better prices and keep the risks low.
A/R insurance is easy, it fits ALL farms and its the best advice I can offer. Take it or leave it.
