Boys it’s not BASF it’s retailers playing a game.

What's the game here on the retailer's end. This is entirely on BASF.

I was at a lunch meeting a couple days ago at a retailer with BASF reps present.
LOL I actually was feeling sorry for the reps by the end!
Pitchforks almost came out!

Farmer with 5000 acres of canola got his 2 pass liberty last winter?
Maybe it's who you are?

Last year my basf rep was ticked that I had used mostly generic liberty. In the end price was still about the same even with more "rebates" offered. We buy seed from a few places and one of them this year are suppling generic for part of the herbicide cause they haven't been supplied with the required BASF product. We have one outfit that always wants to package seed and herbicide together. I normally don't want to do this Most years I price shop and buy who's cheapest seed and chem separately but this year I had to get matching chemical at each dealer. FBN did have generic earlier in the year but now seems they are sold out. For the past few years the local chem shed guys always were bugged by the chem reps to push the name brand and not the generics. After the Bayer issue with Roundup and now BASF and Liberty, the generic option is a good bet. Its like the Centurion herb add in, the generic option is under $150 per case making it way cheaper than any name brand products. I remember reading that Canadian farmers use less generics than US farmers but years like this will help make a shift. IMO it is crazy that in a year like this with higher prices for most inputs that these companies are not in a position to supply the demand.

Picked up liberty and centurian this morning from retailer but didn't buy seed from them. They seemed more than happy to bill me for it too ! Must be getting close to spray 1000 mile an hour wind today.

Wind will prevent flea beetle spraying. They are especially bad here. Reseeding is the norm. Wont need liberty if there is no canola left.
