Canola Seed

Ya for sure furrow. I expect if you need a second pass of Liberty it will all of a sudden be there just in time. How much price increase from the already inflated one?

[furrowtickler]

I think we all know the answer..
rob us blind before this crop is even in or let alone even out of the ground

With all these shortages here’s what I find interesting. In most cases what I was told wasn’t available shows up eventually before you need it. BUT the price is dramatically higher. So was the product really short or was that a play just to get you to pay drastically more?

Paid $1020 a barrel for Liberty in about January.
Was told might not get any more after that. Then it’s available again end of April but had to pay $1500

Is the chemical actually formulated in regina? Or is it just mixed and packaged with imported chemicals? It is the latter, and that is the bottleneck.
Edited for inappropriate word which talk to text came up with.

I would say to some extent Basf is trying to make it difficult for farmers that buy Liberty link canola from competitors. Myself I have LL canola from 3 different companies in the ground this year. I have also heard there was issues with a plastic shortage. All I know is it sounds like I will only have enough Liberty available for one pass.

Liberty is made in Regina. Whats the reason for the shortage

You could ask that question about almost anything these days. What's the price of liberty per litre right now?

Is the chemical actually formulated in vagina? Or is it just mixed and packaged with imported chemicals? It is the latter, and that is the bottleneck.

Formulated in vagina?

That sounds like internet urban myth?

Did you ever do a taste test?

Maybe made in Regina actually means formulated in Shanghai

Create a fake shortage, causes panic, farmers buy…..repeat with next chemical…..

You can still get Liberty from certain independent dealers . All you want , not cheap but it’s out there. Line companies simply trying to force canola seed sales for next year . Will see how that turns out

Polish canola seed is 6.95 a lb. Mastin seeds.

There is no Liberty chemical to be had so it makes sense that they have a ton of seed left still.

Sod in Fort sask and the hell I farm in are not the same thing. The canola playbook says seed shallow into a firm moist seedbed, 100 % opposite of a hay field.

Did it zero till shallow.

Some of best crops on sod, Good RR Canola, 2x Cross seeded. 120lb N, This year=$180/ac for N @ $2600/MT NH3... still is $1000/ac though!

Cheers
